README

Modern CMS for websites and galleries, and even stores, without the chaos.

CmsRS is a next-generation CMS for websites, galleries, and online stores, built as a clean alternative to bloated CMS solutions.

It uses Laravel as the backend/API and Vue.js as the administration panel, with a flexible frontend that can be built with Blade or used headlessly with Nuxt.

Clear separation of concerns: Laravel backend/API, Vue.js administration panel, and flexible frontend layer
Laravel-based API backend with Vue.js administration panel

Predictable updates supported by automated testing
Developer-friendly architecture based on modern standards
Clean and logical database structure

REQUIRED PACKAGES

php-cli – PHP command-line interface

php-dom and php-xml – for XML parsing (used in layouts and configs)

php-curl – for HTTP requests

php-mysql – for MySQL database connection

php-mbstring – for multibyte string support (required by PHPUnit and some packages)
