Bolt CMS

Siteless CMS with powerful content editing and flexible templating.

About Bolt CMS

Bolt CMS is a modern open source content management system built on Symfony components. Instead of forcing you into a fixed site structure, it lets you define your own content types, fields, and relationships. You get a clean admin panel with a live preview editor and full control over front-end templates.

It runs on PHP and supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite databases. You can extend it with custom field types, Twig templates, and YAML configuration files. Bolt includes built-in caching, SEO tools, and a REST API for headless setups. There are dozens of community extensions available through its own marketplace.

This project is developed by the Bolt community and released under the MIT license. It works on standard Linux hosting with PHP 8.1 or higher. A good pick for developers who want a lightweight but flexible CMS that stays out of your way.
