MODX
Open-source PHP content management system and application framework, published as MODX Revolution.
MODX Revolution is a content management system and application framework written in PHP, which its README describes for multi-language, multi-domain sites. Content is kept in a MySQL database, and a web server such as Apache or nginx runs it for each request.
The installation guide offers a zip package that is extracted and set up as the usual path, plus Composer, Git and command-line installs.
Worth knowing
The documentation names PostgreSQL support only as a third-party implementation, and extras often ship database drivers for MySQL alone.
