Self-host your CMS
EmDash hosting on Appbox. A full-stack TypeScript CMS with passkey auth, sandboxed plugins, and structured content, built on Astro.
What you get with EmDash hosting
A CMS built on modern tooling instead of 20-year-old architecture.
Sandboxed plugins
Plugins run in Worker isolates with capability-based permissions. A broken plugin cannot take down your site.
Passkey authentication
WebAuthn login with magic link and OAuth fallbacks. No passwords stored, nothing to brute-force.
Structured content
Content stored as Portable Text (JSON), decoupled from presentation. Query it from any frontend.
Built on Astro
Static-first pages with islands of interactivity. Your visitors get fast loads and minimal JavaScript.
Visual schema builder
Define content types from the admin UI without touching code. Full-text search, drafts, and revisions included.
WordPress migration
Import posts, pages, media, and taxonomies with the built-in migration wizard.
