HashBrown CMS

A free and open-source headless CMS built with Node.js and MongoDB

Multiple projects and environments are a fundamental part of HashBrown’s structure, so you only need one CMS for all of your website needs.

Guides

We have a few guides on using HashBrown CMS here

Running and installing

The easiest way to get up and running is to use the HashBrown CMS Docker images. An example setup can be found here.

The latest and develop images will automatically update themselves every time they’re restarted.

• node.js
• mongodb
• imagemagick
• optional:
  • docker & docker-compose
  • nodemon

Then clone the code and install the dependencies:
