Applications
WonderCMS, a tiny flat file content management system with click to edit pages, a themeable frontend and a single password admin login, and no database to run.
Overview
WonderCMS is a tiny, fast, flat file content management system for building and running a simple website. Pages are edited by clicking directly on them in the browser, the frontend is themeable, and administration sits behind a single password login. All content and configuration live in one JSON file on the local filesystem, so there is no database server to install, tune or back up, and the whole site is easy to move or archive.
It suits individuals, small teams and agencies who want a lightweight, low maintenance site or blog they can host in their own cloud account without the weight of a database backed CMS.
Why the cloudimg image
cloudimg delivers WonderCMS fully installed on nginx and PHP, so a working site answers the moment the instance boots. The image is secure by default: on first boot every VM generates its own random administrator password, stores it only as a hash in the content file, and moves the admin login to a unique, unguessable address, writing both to a root only file, so the well known default login and password never ship in the image. The nginx configuration denies web access to the content data file, keeping your site private, while uploaded files stay served. The base is fully patched with unattended security upgrades enabled, and every deployment is paired with a step by step deploy guide and backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.
Common uses
- Run a lightweight website or blog on a simple, database free CMS you host yourself
- Stand up a themeable brochure or landing site in your own cloud account in minutes
- Edit page content directly in the browser with a single, secured admin login
