Overview

WBCE CMS (WebsiteBaker Community Edition) is a lightweight open source content management system for building and maintaining websites. Editors work in an admin console to manage a tree of pages built from content sections, apply templates and menus, and extend the site with modules and reusable droplets, while the front end serves the published site to visitors. It runs on the classic LAMP stack, storing all content in a MySQL compatible database.

It suits agencies, small businesses and organisations that want a fast, simple, self hosted CMS with a gentle learning curve: brochure and marketing sites, small business websites, and multi page content sites maintained by a small editorial team.

Why the cloudimg image

Standing up WBCE CMS normally means installing the LAMP stack, running the web based installer by hand and then deleting it. cloudimg ships that whole stack assembled and proven, with a default page already in place so the front end renders a real site the first time you browse to it rather than an empty page, and with the installer removed so no visitor can ever re run setup. Security is designed in: the administrator password and the database password are generated uniquely on first boot, never shipped as a default, and the database is reachable only from the machine itself. Your content and uploaded media sit on a dedicated Azure data disk that is separate from the operating system disk. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
