The open source promise
b10cks is open source under AGPLv3. Not a trimmed-down community edition, the platform itself. If we ever take it somewhere you don't want to go, you already have everything you need to go your own way.
AGPLv3. Self-hosted platform fee €0 / month.
The problem it removes
With a closed CMS, an update is a roll of the dice. A workflow you depend on can change and you have no way to look, no way to patch, no way to leave with your setup intact. You file a ticket and wait.
Open source does not make us better people. It makes us accountable. The code is public, so the gap between what we say and what we ship is public too.
Why we gave it away
A content platform outlives the site it was built for.
We did not open the source to look generous. We did it because a roadmap is easy to write and hard to keep, and because the tools teams depend on keep quietly getting worse while nobody can do anything about it.
AGPLv3 is the part that matters. It means the platform stays open, including for anyone who builds a business on top of it. We make our money running the hosted product well, not by holding the exit shut. The self-hosted version is the same platform: every feature, every locale, unlimited editors, platform fee €0 / month.
That is an uncomfortable way to run a company. It is also the only version of this we wanted to build.
You should not have to trust us. You should be able to check.
Self-host b10cks
The open-source promise is worth little if running it yourself is a project of its own. It is one command. From there it is the same platform on your own server, with your content and your infrastructure.

Self-hosted
Coders Cantina est née de la conviction que la technologie doit servir l’épanouissement humain, pas seulement des métriques d’efficacité. Dit comme ça, ça peut sembler abstrait jusqu’au jour où tu vois ton équipe perdre une demi-journée à se battre avec un CMS cassé par une mise à jour silencieuse, ou perdre deux semaines dans une migration fournisseur parce que ton ancien prestataire retenait ton contenu dans un format propriétaire.
Nous construisons avec l’instinct de l’artisan : la qualité avant la vitesse, la profondeur avant les métriques superficielles, de vrais partenariats plutôt que des relations transactionnelles. Pour nous, l’open source n’est pas seulement un choix de licence – c’est l’expression structurelle de ces valeurs. Cela signifie que nous pouvons être jugés selon le standard que nous revendiquons.
La « technologie avec une âme » commence par un logiciel en lequel tu peux avoir confiance parce que tu peux le lire.

Your infrastructure and hosting costs apply. Move between Cloud and self-hosted.
Start where you like
Both doors lead to the same platform. Start free in the Cloud and move to your own server later, or clone the repository and decide for yourself before you commit anything.
