Cockpit CMS

Cockpit is a headless content management system for developers who want to manage content in one place and deliver it to websites, mobile apps or IoT devices. It is frontend-agnostic, so it works with React, Vue, Flutter or anything else that can call an API, and it avoids vendor lock-in because you run it yourself and own the data. It is written in PHP.

Content is modeled with collections, singletons and trees using more than 20 field types, and exposed through REST and GraphQL APIs. The feature list includes asset management with image processing, video thumbnails and CDN integration, user management with roles, permissions, two-factor authentication and API tokens, and localized content with fallbacks. Extensibility comes from custom fields, addons, hooks and events, and spaces let one installation serve several sites or clients. Developer tools include a GraphQL playground, REST documentation and CLI commands.

Storage is SQLite by default or MongoDB. Requirements are PHP 8.3 with PDO and GD, Apache with mod_rewrite or Nginx, and a writable storage directory. The README recommends Docker for quick starts. The repository metadata lists the license as Other, so review the license file before commercial use.
