Beacon CMS

Content management system built with Phoenix LiveView.

Beacon CMS is a content management system built with Phoenix LiveView, maintained by DockYard, Inc. It is installed into a Phoenix LiveView application with the mix igniter.install command, and the installation guide asks for a PostgreSQL database server. The admin interface, a LiveView UI for layouts, pages and other resources, comes from the beacon_live_admin package that the install command adds. The README describes a site as components stored in the database and served by a running server, and a guide on multiple domains covers hosting several sites in one application.

Worth knowing

The README says to expect incomplete features and breaking changes before a stable v1.0 is released, and it describes the page builder as being in its initial stages.
