HashtagCMS Starter Kit
======================

[](#hashtagcms-starter-kit)

Welcome to the **Official HashtagCMS Starter Kit**. This boilerplate provides a production-ready application structure pre-configured with **Laravel 13** and **HashtagCMS 3.x**, allowing you to launch powerful, headless-capable Content Management Systems in seconds.

🚀 About HashtagCMS
------------------

[](#-about-hashtagcms)

HashtagCMS is an enterprise-ready, API-first content management platform built on Laravel. It supports headless, bundled, and hybrid architectures, allowing organizations to manage multiple sites, platforms, and languages from a single centralized admin panel. Designed for scalability, performance, and long-term flexibility, HashtagCMS gives engineering teams full architectural control while enabling business teams to move faster with confidence.

✨ Key Features
--------------

[](#-key-features)

- **Multi-Tenancy**: Manage multiple sites, domains, and platforms from a single admin panel.
- **Headless Ready**: Robust API for consuming content on React, Vue, Mobile, or any other consumer.

```
git clone https://github.com/hashtagcms/create-app.git my-awesome-site
cd my-awesome-site
cp .env.example .env
./cms build
```

Once the containers are running, visit `http://localhost:8081/install` to complete the setup.

**Copy .env.example to .env**

```
cp .env.example .env
```

**To use MySQL/PostgreSQL:**

1. Open the `.env` file in your new project.
2. Update the database credentials:

    ```
    DB_CONNECTION=mysql
    DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
    DB_PORT=3306
    DB_DATABASE=your_database
    DB_USERNAME=root
    DB_PASSWORD=
    ```
3. Open `app/Models/User.php` and replace:

    ```
    use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
    ```

    with:

    ```
    use HashtagCms\User as Authenticatable;
    ```
4. Run the installer to populate the database:

    ```
    php artisan cms:install
    ```

### 3. Configure & Access

[](#3-configure--access)

Open your browser and navigate to:

```
http://{APP_URL}/install

```

After installation, visit:

- **Frontend**: `http://your-domain.com`
