www.joomla.orgrepositorydocsplugins
Joomla! is a PHP content management system that began in 2005 as a fork of Mambo. A volunteer community develops it, and Open Source Matters, a non-profit, supports the project. Its core ships with an integrated access control list, translation packs with language associations, and a Web Services API that speaks REST with the JSON:API media type. Templates are PHP files, and template overrides allow custom designs.
A Docker Official Image exists, and the project runs a free hosted site service at launch.joomla.org. Extensions come from a directory on joomla.org.
