Ibexa

Ibexa is a modern Digital Experience Platform (DXP) and Content Management System (CMS) designed to manage, organize, and deliver structured content across websites and digital channels. It provides enterprise-grade capabilities such as content modeling, multilingual management, workflow support, role-based access control, and API-driven content delivery. Ibexa can be deployed using containerized development environments such as DDEV + Docker to simplify dependency management and ensure consistent setup.

Features of Ibexa:

• Web-based CMS/DXP for managing structured and multilingual content.
• Role-based access control (RBAC) and admin panel for content management.
• Supports workflows, content types, and versioning for content governance.
• API-driven architecture for headless/content delivery use cases.
• Can be deployed using Docker-based tools such as DDEV for consistent environments.

To run Ibexa OSS using DDEV, use the following commands:

$ sudo apt update -y
$ sudo systemctl enable --now docker

# Run DDEV (run as normal user, not root)
$ curl -fsSL https://ddev.com/install.sh | bash
$ ddev version

# Create a new project
$ mkdir -p ~/ibexa-site
$ cd ~/ibexa-site

# Configure and start DDEV
$ ddev config --project-name=ibexa-site --project-type=php --docroot=public --create-docroot
$ ddev start

# Install Ibexa OSS using Composer
$ ddev composer create-project ibexa/oss-skeleton .

# Run Ibexa installer
$ ddev exec php bin/console ibexa:install

# Launch in browser
$ ddev launch
