Strapi
Strapi is an open-source, Node.js based, headless CMS (Content Management System). It gives developers the freedom to use their favorite tools and frameworks while allowing editors to easily manage and distribute their content. Strapi can be fully customized to adapt to projects' needs and integrated with any third-party services.
Strapi versions

Strapi installation
To use this template, you need to install Strapi first. You can do it by following the official documentation

Configure the template
- Create and configure the environnement file by copying the
.env.examplefile to.env - Set the name of your project in the
docker-compose.ymlfile - Set the right name for your virtual host in

Initialize the project
At root of your project (where the package.json folder is located), run the following command:

Setup the environment
Setup Strapi environment files, and your settings for the right database credentials and other settings.
Note that a MariaDB database is already configured in the docker-compose.yml file, but Strapi uses SQLite by default.
If you want to switch on it (recommended), you need to change the DATABASE_CLIENT variable in the Strapi .env file and set the other ones such as password, username etc.
