Overview
Concrete CMS is a free, open source content management system designed for teams that want to build and manage websites without writing code. Its standout feature is in-context editing: you edit pages directly on the live site, dragging blocks of content onto the page and seeing changes instantly. This image delivers Concrete CMS fully installed and configured as a production LAMP application, so a complete website platform is running within minutes of launch.
Application Stack
Concrete CMS running on PHP 8.3 with php-fpm, served by nginx on port 80. A MariaDB database stores all of your pages, content blocks, files and users on a dedicated data disk so it is independently resizable and survives instance replacement. Systemd manages the database, the PHP FastCGI workers and the web server, starting them on boot and restarting them on failure.
In-Context Editing
Edit your website directly on the page with the visual editing toolbar. Drag and drop content blocks for text, images, galleries, forms, navigation and more, arrange them in flexible layouts, and publish with one click. The dashboard gives you a full sitemap, page versioning and approval workflows, a file manager, reusable stacks, themes and a built-in marketplace of add-ons. Multilingual sites, user groups and granular permissions are all built in.
Secure First Boot
On the first boot of your instance a one shot service generates a fresh database password and a fresh administrator password, both unique to that instance, runs the Concrete CMS installer and pins the site to your instance address. The administrator password is written to a file only the root user can read, and no shared or default credentials ship in the image.
Ready To Use
The website and the editing dashboard are served on port 80 through nginx. Sign in with the generated administrator credentials to start building pages, managing content, adding users and installing themes and add-ons. A full sample site is seeded so you can explore the editing experience immediately.
