Beacon
Content management system for Phoenix LiveView applications, with an admin UI package and sites defined in a database.
Beacon is a content management system built with Phoenix LiveView for Elixir. A site is defined by layouts, pages and other resources stored in a PostgreSQL database, and the Phoenix application runs as a server. The beacon_live_admin package adds a LiveView admin UI, and one application can host several sites or domains.
An Igniter installer adds Beacon to a new or an existing Phoenix project; the installation guide covers the steps, and the docs include a guide for deploying to Fly.io. DockYard, Inc. maintains it.
Worth knowing
The README says to expect incomplete features and breaking changes before a stable v1.0 is released. Only PostgreSQL is supported.
