Cockpit
Self-hosted headless content management system with a REST and GraphQL API and an administration panel.
Cockpit is a headless content management system: editors manage content in an administration panel, with role-based permissions, and other applications read it through the REST and GraphQL APIs. Content sits in SQLite by default, with MongoDB as an alternative. The installation guide deploys the files into a web server’s root directory or runs the Docker image.
The legacy repository README says Cockpit’s next iteration moved to the Cockpit organization on GitHub, which hosts this codebase.
Worth knowing
Cockpit Pro is sold under its own license agreement with Agentejo, separate from the MIT-licensed core.
