## Notes

Ametys CMS is a content management system written in Java and published by Ametys under the Apache License. It is used for websites, intranets and portals, and it runs as a web application in a Tomcat application server, with a database connector chosen for MySQL, Oracle, Derby or PostgreSQL. The Linux installation guide documents Tomcat 9 and the connector setup. Page templates are XSL stylesheets that turn the CMS's XML into HTML. Sites can be organized in a hierarchy that shares content between them, and users receive rights through profiles.

The project's homepage says the software is offered in SaaS mode as well as for on-premise deployment.

## Worth knowing

The source is hosted on the project's own Git server at code.ametys.org, not on GitHub, and its raw file endpoint asks for a login. Version 4.6 and later require Java 17 or later, according to the prerequisites page.
