The project's README from github.com/gopherium/gophenberg. As one markdown file: README.md.
A plugin-first CMS. Go backend exposing a JSON API, React SPA admin built on top of the WPDS and Gutenberg block editor.
/admin, and a read-only content API at
/api/content/v1@gophenberg/astro, with the built-in renderer taking
over whenever no theme is active or a theme is downGo as pinned in go.mod, Node 26 with pnpm, and Docker for the PostgreSQL service.
cp .env.example .env
make seed
make seed starts PostgreSQL, applies the migrations, and creates a development
administrator ([email protected] with the password password1234) alongside demo
content. Then run the API and the admin in two terminals:
make dev
pnpm install && pnpm --filter @gophenberg/frontend dev
The API listens on localhost:8081 and the admin on localhost:5174, which proxies
/api to the API.
To self-host a real deployment instead, follow the install guide.
A theme is an Astro project depending on @gophenberg/astro. You write your layouts,
the kit supplies the routes and the block rendering. test/theme is a working example,
and writing a theme walks it.
A plugin is a Go package under plugins/ with a plugin.json, compiled in by
make generate. plugins/feed is the reference, and
write a plugin walks it.
The admin speaks whatever language its catalogues carry. Translation happens on POEditor, no Git needed, and a weekly job carries the finished work back in one batch. Translate Gophenberg walks it.
