# RenewCMS

A small self-hosted CMS: a Go API and a Vue 3 admin/front SPA, shipped as **a single executable** backed by a SQLite file.

> 🚧 **Under development.** Features are incomplete, not fully tested and subject to change.

## Quick start

### Run a release binary

```sh
cp .env.example .env    # fill in PUBLIC_URL, JWT_SECRET and SMTP_*
./renewcms              # → http://localhost:8080
```

Data is stored in `./data/` by default. For a real server (systemd, HTTPS, backups), see **[docs/deployment.md](docs/deployment.md)**.

### Run with Docker

```sh
cp docker.env.example docker.env    # fill in PUBLIC_URL, JWT_SECRET and SMTP_*
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d                # http://localhost:8080
```

Upgrade with `docker compose pull && docker compose up -d`. The image is `git.floriansylvain.fr/fsylvain/renewcms`. Every release is a pre-release for now, so the default tag is the moving `beta`. Pin a version with `RENEWCMS_IMAGE`. Tags, building from source and publishing are in **[docs/docker.md](docs/docker.md)**.

### Updates from the browser

On Linux with systemd, install v2.6.0-beta or newer manually, then follow [the browser-update setup guide](docs/deployment.md#browser-updates). It covers finding the actual database directory, installing the helper, testing a restart and troubleshooting. Other platforms use manual upgrades.

### Develop

Requires Go 1.27+, Node.js 22, [Bun](https://bun.sh) and [Task](https://taskfile.dev).

```sh
cp .env.example .env
task setup
task dev                # API with hot reload + Vite HMR → http://localhost:5173
```
