CMS Airship
PHP content management system and blog engine with a Gears extension system, distributed through GitHub and Packagist.
airship.paragonie.comrepositorydocs
CMS Airship is a content management system, blog engine and application framework written for PHP, developed by Paragon Initiative Enterprises. Its documentation describes extensions of three kinds: Cabins are self-contained applications, Gadgets change the behavior of a Cabin or the engine, and Motifs change appearance. Templates are rendered by Twig, and the administration area is a Cabin called the Bridge. The install guide clones the repository, runs composer install, and finishes setup in a web-based installer, with PostgreSQL as the database. A docker-compose file is also provided.
The README lists a multi-site architecture, and the docs describe access controls based on groups and users.
Worth knowing
The GitHub repository is archived and its Packagist package is flagged as abandoned. The project’s documentation site tells readers not to use the Airship website for the time being. The README also offers commercial licenses alongside the GPL 3 license.
