Typemill

Typemill provides a self‑hosted, flat‑file content management system that stores pages as Markdown and YAML files, eliminating the need for a database. It runs on Apache or Nginx with PHP 8.1+, and its core stack combines Slim PHP, Vue.js and Tailwind CSS, keeping the gzipped package around 2 MB. Authors can create and edit content through a visual block editor or a raw Markdown editor, while developers can extend functionality with Twig templates, Symfony events, plugins, themes, and custom eBook layouts.

The system is aimed at teams or individuals who maintain structured, text‑driven sites such as user manuals, technical documentation, knowledge bases, handbooks, and similar resources. It supports multi‑project and multi‑language setups, media library management, and access control, making it suitable for small businesses and open‑source projects that need a lightweight publishing workflow.

A distinctive feature is the eBook studio, which can convert the same Markdown source into PDF or EPUB eBooks, allowing a single content source to be published as both a website and a digital book. The project is released under the MIT license, offers a free tier with no subscription, and can be installed via ZIP, Composer, or Docker.
