Bludit

Flat-file CMS that stores content in JSON files and needs only a web server with PHP.

Bludit builds websites and blogs without a database: content is kept in JSON files, so a web server with PHP is all it needs. The release archive is uploaded to the server, and content is written in Markdown or HTML in the admin area. The documentation covers installation, and plugins are listed in the plugin directory.

Worth knowing

Some plugins, such as White Labeling and Backup Manager, belong to Bludit PRO, which comes with a paid Patreon tier. The PRO page states no license for them.
