Relax is a powerful new generation CMS on top of React and Node.js which aims for a better way of building websites.

It features a live page builder based on components and a smart and easy way of binding dynamic data to them.

We're currently working on releasing the beta version which should come up early November. If you want to collaborate in the meantime or just say anything join us at Relax Slack

Installation

Dependencies

Relax uses sharp to resize images so you'll need to install its dependencies. Fortunately they have great documentation on how to install them for each platform, you can check them here.

You'll also need MongoDB.

How to Relax

Since we are yet to tag our first release, git clone this repository and run npm install followed by npm start.

By default the application runs at port 8080. Go ahead and visit http://localhost:8080/admin/init, here you can setup the first user and you're ready to relax.

Configuration

To configure the application you can use a .relaxrc file. You can place it next to the application, on any parent folder, in your HOME folder, etc.

You can find a sample with the default values here.
