Cockpit VS Strapi

Hmm...I just tried https://getcockpit.com/, which looks like a super lightweight CMS and PHP doesn't seem to work.

I am struggling with my instance of cockpit Cockpit (getcockpit.com) that all contact forms on my website keeps going to spam. The SPF record is correct.

https://getcockpit.com/ Recommend using V1, since V2 is a bit new and lags documentation and plugins.

Might be a long shot, and I haven't checked in on the project in years, but maybe cockpit https://getcockpit.com/ ?

Cockpit

Cockpit CMS is a straightforward framework for managing complicated and organized information. Additionally, it makes it possible to control the content adaptably and with few limits. This Open Source Headless CMS also supports a variety of devices on a single platform. It is very simple to install, and it takes little time to finish. As a result, you can begin your job without any problem or difficulty.

I've been using Cockpit (https://getcockpit.com/) for a few internal and personal projects now.

It's lightweight and easy to use. Just upload the folder to your webspace (minimal PHP requirements!) and you are good to go.

Create some collections for you data, link them if needed, and you can immediately use them via the API endpoints AND also via a GUI for CRUD operations.

This is really great because my colleagues are non-technical and I don't need to write some frontend for them to update data and so on and can concentrate on the "real task".

Documentation on the other hand is awful, to the point where you better refer to the "inofficial documentation" (for the interested: https://zeraton.gitlab.io/cockpit-docs/) with no way to improve the official one.

So, while I LOVE the ease of use, I wondered if somebody has a recommendation for a similar solution which might be somewhat more "mature" in regards to the documentation.

Strapi provides a centralized data managing platform. This makes it easier to organize, update, and maintain the FAQ data. It also automatically generates a RESTful API for accessing the content stored in its database.

https://prisma.io is popular as I understand it. I've been trying out https://strapi.io the last week and am thoroughly impressed.

They both do much more than build queries. One big thing both do is automate database migration calculations. Strapi goes further and gives you a CMS and admin UI on top, as well as doing a lot more of the complex query building from a json object. Both still require a fundamental understanding of the data model and SQL

As of April 2024, Strapi's GitHub repository has garnered 59.7k stars and 7.5k forks, showcasing its widespread adoption. The project has also secured a substantial $45+ million in funding, cementing its position as a prominent player in the headless CMS space.

const pages = await client.GET("/pages", { params: { query: { filters: { // @ts-ignore - openapi generated from strapi results in Record // https://github.com/strapi/strapi/issues/19644 path: { $eq: path, }, }, // @ts-ignore populate: { blocks: { populate: "*" }, }, }, }, });

On a side note. Where do all these endpoints come from? Strapi is open source. We can read the source code. All these endpoint come from the Users and permissions plugin. So, if we go to Strapi on github and browse around the files a bit eventually you will find the auth.js file that contains all of the routes. You can also find the Strapi controllers in there if you're interested.
