CometCMSThe CMS that fits on any PHP host

File-based, headless, zero-dependency. Upload a ZIP, open /admin — you're done.

File-based storage

Content is stored as plain JSON files. No database to set up, migrate, or maintain.

Content types

A clean public REST API lets you consume content from any frontend — Next.js, Astro, SvelteKit, or plain fetch.

API reference

Build schemas with text, rich text, media, relations, selects, dates, and more.

Field types

PHP 8.1+ is the only production requirement. No Composer, no database, no CLI, no SSH, no Node.js on the server.

Installation

Fine-grained permissions per action, content type, media category, and field. No overly broad keys.

API tokens

Create and restore full backups of all content, media, and settings directly from the admin UI.

Backup & restore

A clean, intuitive admin UI — everything you need, nothing you don't.

No build tools on the server. No environment variables. Just upload and go.

Grab the latest release ZIP from GitHub.

Extract the ZIP and upload its contents to your server's web root via FTP or your host's file manager.

Visit yourdomain.com/admin in your browser and create your admin account on the setup screen.
