What is DonkeyCMS?

DonkeyCMS is a self-hosted blogging engine designed for websites not operating on WordPress, supporting environments built with hand-coded Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap, commercial site templates, or artificial intelligence (AI)-generated codebases. The software installs into a /blog subdirectory on standard PHP and MySQL hosting environments and inherits the primary website's navigation menus, footer structure, and styling across all published posts.
