CMS project template and demo (play-cms-demo)

The play-cms-demo project is the starting point for testing the cms and new projects. It contains a sensible default configuration, plus some demo data, users, an integrated app example and more.

The Git repo and detailed install instructions for different environments can be found here: https://git.insign.rocks/open-source/play-cms/demo

The demo creates some demo content and uses the h2 in-memory db for storage. It is intended to be used as quick-and-easy starting point for your own play-cms project. We've also added a docker-based devops setup for a CI (continuous integration) process.

Now it's time to explore the demo project. You can use the demo as a quick starting point for your own project.
