NodeJs CMS tutorial

Strapi

Strapi is the leading open-source headless CMS, which is 100% JavaScript, fully customizable and developer-first.

How to Install

yarn create strapi-app my-project --quickstart

yarn develop

This one line simple command installs Strapi which can be accessible in http://localhost:1337/

How to Create A New user

Navigate to http://localhost:1337/admin (opens new window).

Complete the form to create the first Administrator user.

Install Using Docker

If you already familiar with Docker, then lets go first to create docker-compose.yml file

version: '3'
services:
  strapi:
    image: strapi/strapi
    environment:
      DATABASE_CLIENT: mongo
      DATABASE_NAME: strapi
      DATABASE_HOST: mongo
      DATABASE_PORT: 27017
      DATABASE_USERNAME: strapi
      DATABASE_PASSWORD: strapi
    volumes:
      - ./app:/srv/app
    ports:
      - '1337:1337'
    depends_on:
      - mongo

  mongo:
    image: mongo
    environment:
      MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE: strapi
      MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME: strapi
      MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD: strapi
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data/db

The example above works for MongoDB.

Next, pull the images from Docker hub

docker-compose pull

Then start the application by running this file

docker-compose up -d
