Way-CMS

Simple, web-accessible CMS for editing HTML/CSS files downloaded from Wayback Archive with real-time preview.

Way-CMS lets you edit a site downloaded with Wayback-Archive in the browser and see the result as you type. It runs next to an nginx container that serves the public site, and it can host several projects for several users.

Features

• Browser editor for HTML, CSS, JS, TXT, XML, JSON and Markdown, with CodeMirror syntax highlighting.
• Live preview of HTML pages with their fonts, images and CSS loaded.
• File browser to create, rename, delete and upload files or whole ZIP archives.
• Search and replace in one file or across the site, with regex support.
• A backup before every save, plus daily automatic backups with 7-day, 4-week, 12-month and yearly retention.
• Password login with bcrypt, an optional read-only mode, session timeouts and rate limiting.
• Multi-tenant mode (v2.0.0+) with several projects and users, an admin panel and magic link login by email.
• Dark and light themes and keyboard shortcuts.
