# Cockpit legacy

Open-source PHP content management system from the earlier Cockpit line, usable as a headless CMS.

STUB. This software has no release or pre-release in four years, or its project site no longer shows it, so it is not part of the register, not counted and not indexed. It will be checked again.

## Notes

Cockpit legacy is the earlier Cockpit codebase, a content management system that can also serve as a headless CMS. Its folder goes into the root of a web project, and an install page in the browser finishes the setup. Content is stored in SQLite or MongoDB.

## Worth knowing

The README opens by saying that development of Cockpit's next iteration moved to a dedicated organization on GitHub, where [Cockpit](https://github.com/Cockpit-HQ/Cockpit) is developed.
