Sailor
Lua MVC web framework for building web applications on Apache, Nginx and other Lua-capable web servers.
Sailor is a Lua web framework with an MVC structure, installed with LuaRocks and run by a Lua-capable web server such as Apache with mod_lua or Nginx. Its views are Lua Pages, files with the .lp extension, and it works with MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite through the luasql library. The copyright line in its license file names Etiene Dalcol.
Worth knowing
The project’s own website no longer serves Sailor: the address now shows an unrelated site, so the documentation is only the docs folder in the repository. The repository’s only tagged releases are prereleases from 2014 and 2015, and the README asks for new maintainers.
