A new site platform designed specifically for single client websites with a set theme. Develop in plain HTML and CSS and then simply add a few lines of code to convert it to a fully functional website. Fully customize the internal editing display for each type of content so that you only see the inputs that you need.
Mirage uses a number of git submodules. This means that if you would like to download it, you must either use a download from the Releases page on GitHub, or download the repository using Git.
If you use Git, make sure you run the command: git submodule update --init --recursive
Once you have downloaded and installed Mirage, go to https://{your website url}/admin to access the dashboard. You will be prompted for an email and password. During the setup process, the initial administrator account is created. Additional user accounts can be added from the dashboard.
All documentation needed to develop themes is located on our Wiki.
Backups are easy with Mirage, simply save the database and uploads directories as often as you would like. As long as the theme stays the same, the content should be able to be transfered to a new server if needed by simply copying these folders over. This is also helpful for moving a development website into production.
Mirage uses a file-based datatbase to store its data. Make sure that the database folder is blocked from being read by people/scripts other than Mirage. The .htaccess file that is generated automatically by Mirage should do an adequite job of this, but make sure to double check for your install.
Passwords are stored using the PHP password_hash function which should be strong enough. Again, making sure that the database folder is private is an additional method of security.
