help Cosmic FAQ
What operating system is Cosmic CMS designed to run on?
Cosmic is described as a self-hosted distribution built on Alpine Linux. Alpine uses a lean Linux base, which suits deployments where a small system footprint and limited maintenance are important.
Is Cosmic CMS open source?
Yes, Cosmic is presented as a fully open-source, self-hosted CMS distribution. Because it runs on the user's own server, deployment and security updates remain the operator's responsibility.
How does Cosmic CMS differ from hosted Ghost?
Cosmic is positioned as a self-managed Alpine Linux distribution, while Ghost(Pro) is a hosted service operated by Ghost. Self-hosting gives more control over the server, but it also means handling updates, backups, and monitoring.
Is Cosmic CMS meant for a low-maintenance website?
Its lean Alpine Linux design is aimed at rapid deployment and reduced server overhead. It can simplify the base system, but no self-hosted CMS removes the need to maintain the operating system and protect administrator access.
