Concrete CMS on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

## Concrete CMS on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

Concrete CMS (formerly concrete5) is an open-source content management system known for its in-context editing experience: signed-in editors edit pages directly on the page, dragging blocks and content into place rather than working through a separate back-end form. The cloudimg image installs Concrete CMS 9.5.2 on a full LAMP stack (nginx, PHP 8.3-FPM and MariaDB), runs the entire headless install at build time so there is no web wizard, ships the Elemental sample theme and content, stores the database and uploads on a dedicated Azure data disk, and generates a unique admin account on the first boot of every VM. Backed by 24/7 expert support.

In-Context Editing

Signed-in editors edit pages directly on the page, dragging blocks and content into place. The Elemental sample theme and content ship so you can start editing immediately.

Full LAMP Stack

nginx serves Concrete on port 80 with pretty URLs via PHP 8.3-FPM, with MariaDB on loopback - all from the Ubuntu 24.04 repositories, installed headlessly at build time.

Dedicated Data Disk

The MariaDB data directory and the Concrete application files (uploads, generated configuration, packages and updates) live on a dedicated, independently resizable Azure data disk at /var/lib/concrete, re-provisioned with every VM.

Secure First Boot

A unique database password and administrator account are generated on the first boot of every VM and written to /root/concrete-cms-credentials.txt. No shared credentials ship in the image.
