Overview

Azuriom is a content management system written for one job: giving a game server community a proper website. Instead of a forum thread and a Discord invite, a community manager gets a news feed with comments and likes, unlimited custom pages built in a rich editor, a player account system with registration, email verification, two factor authentication and password reset, roles with fine grained permissions, and live status and player counts for the game servers themselves.

Everything is driven from an administration dashboard, so the people running the community never need to edit a configuration file to publish a post, restructure the navigation, change the theme or hand a moderator the permissions they need. A theme system and an extension marketplace reachable from that dashboard cover the rest, and a REST API is available where a community wants to automate.

Azuriom is free software under the GNU General Public License version 3 or later, and is built on the Laravel framework, so it sits on a stack any PHP administrator already knows: a web server, PHP and a relational database.

Why the cloudimg image

The whole platform is assembled before you launch it: the web server, the PHP runtime with every extension Azuriom requires, and the database are installed, tuned and wired together, so the site is answering requests minutes after boot instead of after an afternoon of manual installation.

The image ships genuinely un-bootstrapped. There is no administrator account, no environment file, no application encryption key and no database schema anywhere in it. On the first boot of your instance a one shot service generates a unique application encryption key, a unique database password and a unique administrator password, creates the schema, creates the single administrator account, and then proves those credentials work by signing in through the real login form and confirming common default passwords are rejected. The web server and PHP runtime will not start at all until that has completed, so an unprovisioned instance can never be reached and the setup wizard can never be seized by a passing visitor.

The document root is the framework public directory and nothing above it, only the front controller is permitted to execute PHP, and the database listens on loopback only. A paired step by step deployment guide covers first sign in, your own domain and certificate, mail delivery, themes and extensions, and backups, and 24/7 cloudimg support is behind it.
