Open source alternative to:
WollyCMS is a self-hosted headless CMS designed from the ground up for Astro.js projects. It combines the sophisticated content architecture of traditional CMS platforms with modern web development workflows.
Built on Hono 4.x with a TypeScript backend and SvelteKit 5 admin interface, WollyCMS supports SQLite, PostgreSQL, and Cloudflare D1 as database backends, with storage options including local filesystem, S3, and Cloudflare R2. It features a visual drag-and-drop page builder, full revision history with diffs and rollback, scheduled publishing, and configurable workflows.
WollyCMS exposes both REST and GraphQL APIs with full-text search, built-in WCAG AA accessibility audits, automatic image optimization via Sharp/WebP, and real-time multi-user presence tracking — making it a compelling alternative to heavyweight SaaS CMS platforms for Astro-based sites.
