help Cockpit CMS FAQ
What is Cockpit CMS built with?
Cockpit CMS is a lightweight, self-hosted content management system built around PHP and a flat-file or database-backed content model, depending on the version and setup. It is designed for developers who want an API-first CMS rather than a large publishing platform.
Is Cockpit CMS the same as Ghost?
No, Cockpit CMS and Ghost are separate products with different technology stacks and goals. Ghost is a Node.js publishing platform focused strongly on blogs and newsletters, while Cockpit is aimed at flexible structured content and headless use.
Can Cockpit CMS provide content through an API?
Yes, Cockpit exposes content through an API so a separate website or application can consume entries and collections. This makes it suitable for headless projects where the front end is built with another framework.
Who would choose Cockpit CMS instead of WordPress?
Cockpit can suit a developer who wants a smaller self-hosted system with structured content and less legacy overhead. WordPress has a much larger plugin and theme ecosystem, so it remains more convenient for users who want a ready-made publishing site.
