Overview

Medusa is an open source headless commerce platform built on Node.js and TypeScript. It provides a built in Admin dashboard, Store and Admin REST APIs and a durable workflow engine for building custom storefronts and marketplaces. PostgreSQL and Redis are co located on the instance.

Why the cloudimg image

The cloudimg image ships Medusa preinstalled as a system service behind an nginx proxy on port 80, hardened with the commerce database and project on a dedicated resizable disk. First boot generates a fresh admin user and rotates the database, JWT and cookie secrets, storing the password in a root only file, so no default credentials ship. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
