Introduction

Pressline is a small, self-hosted CMS. PHP and MySQL on the back, no JavaScript framework on the front, under five megabytes on disk.

If you can edit a config file and visit a URL, you can install it. If you can write a PHP function, you can extend it.

What's in the box

• Articles with categories, tags, drafts and scheduled publishing

• Light / Dark / AMOLED themes with six accent colours

System requirements

• MySQL 8.0+ or MariaDB 10.5+
