A Hugo-flavored PHP framework. Routes are directories on disk, pages render with Twig, and any page that needs real logic gets an optional PHP "sidecar" file. Pages without a sidecar are pre-rendered once and served as static HTML straight from Apache afterwards.

For a full tour of what's included — routing, sidecars, caching, admin auth, access control, media manager, database, search, RSS, and more — see the Novaconium docs.

This project is currently in beta testing. The issue tracker is at https://git.4lt.ca/4lt/novaconium/issues — email nova@4lt.ca for a login.

Getting started

Webmasters

PROJECTDIR="${PROJECTDIR:-/data}"
mkdir -p "$PROJECTDIR"/{css,novaconium/{cache,uploads,data}}

docker pull git.4lt.ca/4lt/novaconium:2.0.0-beta

docker run -d \
  --name novaconium \
  -p 8080:80 \
  -v "$PROJECTDIR":/var/www/html/App \
  -v "$PROJECTDIR"/css:/var/www/html/public/css \
  -v "$PROJECTDIR"/novaconium/cache:/var/www/html/public/cache \

  git.4lt.ca/4lt/novaconium:2.0.0-beta

You should also add a favicon.ico to your PROJECTDIR.

You can find example PROJECTDIR files and directory structure in: https://git.4lt.ca/4lt/novaconium/src/branch/v2/App

$PROJECTDIR/novaconium/data is for your sqlite database and will be created from scratch when running novaconium.

Open http://localhost:8080/ in your browser.
