This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.
Overview Strapi is the leading open source headless CMS, a flexible content platform built on Node.js that lets teams model content, manage entries and deliver everything through a powerful REST and GraphQL API. This image delivers the Strapi Community Edition fully installed and configured as a system service with the admin panel pre-built, so a production grade content platform is running within minutes of launch.
Application Stack Strapi installed on Node.js 22 LTS and run by a dedicated unprivileged service account. The content store, holding the SQLite database and your uploaded media, lives on a dedicated data disk so it is independently resizable and survives instance replacement. A systemd service starts Strapi on boot and restarts it on failure. An nginx reverse proxy publishes the admin panel and the content API on port 80 with WebSocket support and generous upload limits.
Headless Content Platform Use the visual Content-Type Builder to model your content, then create and manage entries in the admin panel. Strapi automatically exposes a fully documented REST and GraphQL API for every content type, with fine grained roles and permissions, draft and publish workflows, media management, internationalisation and an extensible plugin system. Your front end, mobile app or service consumes the content over the API.
Secure First Boot On the first boot of your instance a one shot service generates all of Strapi's application secrets fresh and unique to that instance, generates an administrator password that meets Strapi's complexity policy and creates the first admin user. Strapi itself binds to loopback only and is published through nginx; the admin password is written to a root only file and no shared or default credentials ship in the image.
Ready To Use The admin panel is served on port 80 through nginx at the /admin path. Sign in with the generated administrator credentials to build content types, manage entries, configure roles and generate API tokens. The content API is available on the same port for your applications.
