One binary, many websites — and no cookie banner.
A small CMS for a small server. Go, SQLite and htmx: one installation carries any number of websites with several domains each. Kirby wants a licence per domain — €99, and another one for every further site. WordPress can do multisite, but only after a network setup and with a plugin collection that wants updates every week. Here it is one binary and one SQLite file, under AGPL-3.0.
At runtime none of these sites loads anything from third parties — no fonts, no scripts, no embedded frames. That is why none of them needs a cookie banner; it is not a setting, it is a property. And what a page is made of is decided by the website itself: nine input types, repeatable groups, sections and conditions — without a new program version, without ACF and without a line of PHP.
One installation
The separation runs on the Host header: per website its own domains, its own design, its own content types, its own permissions.
Custom content types
Beyond page and post: product, event, recipe, animal — with their own name across the whole screen, their own overview and their own filter.
Swiss variants
de-CH, fr-CH and it-CH sit beside their base languages: no ß, «angled quotation marks», Natel instead of Handy. A Swiss browser gets them on its own.
Privacy by construction
Images and videos lose their metadata before they reach the disk — in an MP4 the box holding the location is overwritten with zeros. Two-factor is compulsory for administrators, not a plugin.
No hostage situation
A whole website out as one readable archive, and back in again. A site is not a hostage to the machine it runs on.
A way out of WordPress
Read a WXR file: pages, posts, addresses, tags. Anything unpublished arrives as a draft; shortcodes are removed rather than guessed.
In use. It runs in the cluster and already carries client sites — the same installation, different domains.
What else runs on it
This page is not the only one. Two more sites sit on the same installation — their own domains, their own design, their own content kinds, the same SQLite file.
Milchschäferei Seehof
A small biodiversity farm in Seewen SO: East Friesian dairy sheep, mangalitsa pigs, hens and goats. The farm shop works with enquiries instead of prices.
Delnahida
Dog breeding for Löwchen and Perro de Agua Español. Twenty pages, eighty-five pictures, from the same binary.
