Whew! What a process! I have been at this for a few weeks now and have finally created a working tutorial for those scrubs like myself that want to host their steemit content on their own website.
My first project for this was creating a site for 
This tutorial assumes you have some terminal experience and an ubuntu server running 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus).
It is essentially what I wish I would have had a week ago.
Make sure you install this as a user and not as root, I had some issues doing that.

Select Y when asked to remove history.
cd yourblog
sudo nano ~/reprint-starter/yourblog/resources/config/config.yaml
Change template to: 'bootstrap3-default'
set user variables
cntrl+x then Y enter
sudo nano ~/reprint-starter/yourblog/resources/config/infrastructure/docker/conf/vhost.conf
Change: fastcgi_param APPLICATION_ENV development;
To: fastcgi_param APPLICATION_ENV production;
cd ~/reprint-starter/yourblog

sudo docker-compose up --build
cntrl+a+n
exit ssh
it will take some time to build but, viola! You are done and should have something like http://blog.codydietz.com when navigating to your server or localhost.
I feel this type of development is important for the adoption of steemit. It may seem counter intuitive to promote user publishing content outside of steemit.com. My opinion is that is the point of steemit, to liberate people from the confines of centralized content hosting.
There is not a blogger in the world that would not want an immutable copy of their content, at lease any experienced ones. I am going to continue to work on this project and want to create one click deployable heroku app for this. The easier we make the process that wider the adoption.
