Pageel CMS

Pageel CMS is a self-hosted content management system for Astro sites. It uses a Git repository as the content backend, so Markdown and MDX files and images stay in the repo and no database is needed. Editors use a web dashboard, and the Git token stays on the server. GitHub is the default Git service, with Gitea and Gogs as options.

Login can use a username and password with a repository configured on the server, a username and password with each user supplying their own repository and token, or no account of its own, where each user brings a repository and token.

The deployment guide describes two targets: Vercel, through the Astro Vercel adapter, and a Node server built with the Node adapter and run from dist/server/entry.mjs, with a Docker example. REDD CO., LTD maintains it.

Worth knowing

The Vercel deployment runs as serverless functions, and the docs note that the rate limiter resets on each cold start. The README lists a separate commercial product, Pageel Workhub, for team workflow, review and permissions.
