About
A content management system that stores everything as files. Flexible for designers and developers, friendly for the people who write the content.
Notes
File-based PHP CMS by Bastian Allgeier. Kirby stores everything as folders + text files on disk, so the content directory you mount here *is* your site — back it up by copying the folder, version it with git, edit it from the device's filesystem, whatever you like.
This template runs Kirby in a single nginx + PHP-FPM container (webdevops/php-nginx:8.3, multi-arch incl. arm64). On first start the entrypoint copies a fresh Kirby skeleton into the mounted content directory only if it's empty, so existing sites keep working across reinstalls.
Bring your own license key once you're going public — Kirby is free for local development without one.
