Spina CMS

Spina CMS is an easy to use CMS that features a clean interface without distractions.

Ruby Code Climate Test Coverage Discord

Getting Started

Read the guide to learn more about how to use Spina. If you just want to get started, create a new Ruby on Rails app and follow these instructions:

Add the following line to your Gemfile:

gem 'spina'

Run the installer to start the setup process:

rails spina:install

The installer will help you create your first user interactively.

Then start rails s and access Spina at /admin.

Browser support

Spina's admin UI requires Chrome/Edge 89+, or any other browser with basic ESM support (Safari/Firefox). This is due to a recent browser feature called import maps and will be used in Rails 7 as the default way to deploy javascript assets.

Browser support for websites built with Spina is entirely up to the developer. Spina doesn't force you to build your frontend a certain way.
