README

This is a static CMS written in nextjs and netlify-cms, using netlify's git-gateway. The goals of this project are:

1. To create a zero-fee CMS template
2. To be based off of completely opensource solutions, and no vendor lock-in
3. TO use netlify's git-gateway and media upload functionality for easy media uploads

In future we are to create our own media upload library using git-gateway and nextjs's serverless functions

Quickstart

1. Deploy to netlify

   

2. Configure netlify-cms config

   goto public/admin/config.yml

       backend:
         name: git-gateway
         repo: OWNER/YOUR_GITHUB_REPO
         base_url: https://example.com/
   
   

3. Setup netlify identity and enable git-gateway

4. Add github as OAuth Provider

Troubleshoot nextjs on netlify here and authentication here

Where are we right now and what are the implications?

No fee

We have been able to achieve a complete zero-fee system, with two lock-ins

1. netlify identity
2. github lock-in

Completion of basic principles

1. remove dependancy on oauth
   1. use vercel
      1. https://github.com/robinpokorny/netlify-cms-now
2. remove github lock-in
   1. store it in gitlab
      1. you loose codespaces for private repos
         1. add in docker
