Silex instances by Silex Labs

This repo holds the code for the public Silex instance hosted for free by Silex Labs foundation and The v3 instance too.

This is also a good example on how to customize Silex. And it has a Dockerfile for easy deployment

Features

This code adds features to the editor specific to our instance (in index.js and index.pug):

• Multi-site with the Dashboard plugin
• Automatic deployment to CapRover (see the captain-definition file and the file .github/workflows/caprover.yml)
• Onboarding: Send an email with brevo the 1st time we see a user + use Silex notification system to guide users through the first steps
• Enable or disable cloud services and hosting providers with env vars
• Analytics: add a tag in Silex editor

Run the code

With Docker

docker run -p 8080:8080 silexlabs/silex-instances

Add environment variables to customize the instance - here is an example with FTP storage and FTP hosting:

docker run -p 8080:8080 -e STORAGE_CONNECTORS=ftp -e HOSTING_CONNECTORS=ftp,download silexlabs/silex-instances
