I know the personal server architecture of a bunch of docker containers reverse-proxied behind Nginx is really easy and popular but it's a lot of overhead and kills your throughput if you don't aggressively cache in the frontend.

Look at the proxy_cache_* options and you'll be able to handle the traffic with ease.

Honestly - I like ghost and setup was pretty straight forward. The personal blog was as much a sandbox and learning environment as anything else.

I'd be tempted to do Jamstack for it in the future and remove the Ngninx overhead all together (even if just to get rid of the ssl certificate side).
