README

A self-hosted, composable CMS and commerce platform for developers building content-rich sites and storefronts. One installable system — content, rendering, navigation, collections, SEO, analytics, commerce with payment links and receipts, subscriptions, and multi-workspace tenancy — designed together, running on the Glueful PHP framework with a Vue 3 admin.

Developer Preview. The platform is production-engineered (the payment paths in particular are built fail-closed and race-tested), but the packaging, docs, and defaults are young. Read docs/limitations.md before taking real money.

Requirements

• PHP 8.3+ (CLI + your web SAPI)
• PostgreSQL (what Thallo's own site and test suite run). SQLite/MySQL are configurable but not currently tested lanes — see docs/limitations.md.
• A web server pointing at public/ (the PHP built-in server works for evaluation)
• cron (per-capability entries; see docs/production.md)
• Optional: queue workers for background jobs, an SMTP/rich-mail transport for email features

Quickstart

composer create-project --prefer-dist glueful/thallo my-site
cd my-site
createdb thallo                   # or create a database with your PostgreSQL tool
php glueful thallo:provision      # prompts for the database; writes .env, keys, migrations, cache
php glueful thallo:create-admin   # prompts for site name + first admin; grants full access
php -S localhost:8000 -t public vendor/glueful/framework/router.php

Both commands take flags for scripted installs (--help; pass -n for non-interactive).

Log in at http://localhost:8000/admin.

BASE_URL matters: every absolute URL Thallo emits (media, sitemaps, canonical/OG heads, payment links) derives from it — never from the request's Host header. Plain HTTP is fine for local development; payment links specifically require a canonical HTTPS origin (see .env.example's notes).

What's on by default

A fresh install activates the core CMS (content, render, collections, navigation, SEO, analytics, media, i18n, users/RBAC, audit, import/export) plus the bundled subscriptions billing engine. Commerce, payments (Payvia), and Meilisearch ship installed but disabled — enable them from the in-admin extensions browser (Settings → Extensions) or:

php glueful extensions:enable Commerce
php glueful extensions:enable Payvia
php glueful migrate:run

Each feature you enable may add operational obligations (cron entries, config); they're listed per capability in docs/production.md.
