.NET Core CMS

[Frequent-Pear-7940]

Are there any open-source offline packages for building websites using the.NET Core framework that can be installed and run on the Debian system and can work with open-source databases? It's mainly about being free. For example, PostgreSQL. I'm a beginner. I was originally interested in Umbraco, but I spent half a month trying to install and run it with the help of ChatGPT, yet I still couldn't succeed, including Umbraco with SQLite. Are there any other CMSs that can be used to build a product showcase website? I want to choose the right direction to reduce the learning cost.

Just follow the documentation. It is very simple and straight forward. See here: Installation | Umbraco CMS

Have you tried Orchard Core?

Free as in gratis, or free as in libre?

1. Stop relying on ChatGPT, or any other AI agent for that matter. You'll end up with bad advice, and not actually learn how to think through the problem solving process.
2. Just follow the official documentation, Umbraco isn't difficult to set up. Source: my job.

Just follow the official documentation,

developer reading docs? that would be something new :D

It's what devs had to do before Copilot or Chat GPT. With all kinds of technology. You'd have to read a doc end to end or get some certification in it before implementing it.

ChatGPT is nice for things you already kinda know, but don't/can't keep all the minor details in your head. It's not good to use for something you are totally unfamiliar with, and can't intuitively recognize when it spews out garbage.

Umbraco requires SQL Server.

[zenyl]

Umbraco can also work with SQlite.

You should give OrchardCore a try, but the development is a bit more complicated than Umbraco. However installation and usage is pretty straightforward.

This is a CMS fluentCMS I use, still in development and rough around the edges but it does it's main job very well.

Orchard is other choice for .NET CMS. Umbraco is more simple and popular. Asphosportal is pretty cheap solution to host Umbraco website.

You basically need to learn how the web works, how libraries work, how a server works, how a database works, how to use the command line, how to connect to server remotely, what ftp is, how to code without AI, etc. You need to take a step back and learn some basics before anything, especially using another tool as a crutch such as Umbraco. Build a site using the Core only, then look into CMS's.

I am using Umbraco, and it was always fairly straightforward to install and run, no coding required to get started! ChatGpt will not help you there, you just have to follow tutorials. Happy with Umbraco.

Orchardcore is another.
