My open-source CMS, Garlic-Hub, is now listed on Awesome Selfhosted.

This is a small but significant milestone for a niche project that’s still relatively unknown:

I’m continuing to work on making #DigitalSignage less dependent on proprietary cloud platforms.

@sagiadinos @opensource Interesting. What made you choose to make another CMS in PHP? What is the unique selling point of Garlic-Hub over Drupal, WordPress, Joomla and the others?

    It is specializing on Digital Signage with SMIL. :)

    Not many people are familiar with SMIL. I was an enthusiast back in the days, but everybody was into Macromedia Flash.

    Today, e-learning projects could benefit from technology like #SMIL rather than using awful software like Articulate Storyline.

    SMIL is a typical underrated format. Wrote an article some time ago on my blog.

    It was re-discovered in 2010 for digital signage from IAdea, but:

    The industry is super sales-driven.

    Technicians have no influence and must defer to marketing. There’s hardly any “nerd” or “maker” scene.

    Nearly everyone thinks they have to reinvent the wheel into the next big SaaS thing. Myself included. *lol*

    For a few years now, I’ve been taking a different path.

    @sagiadinos
    I'm not familiar with “digital signage”, what does it mean?

    Congrats. Is it named to keep vampires away?

    @eager_eagle

    Yes, against claud vampires.

    First it was the idea of naming a set of apps after herbs I like: thyme, basil, oregano, cannabis...

    Like apple did with early osx systems ( Pathet,, Leopard, Lion...) . And the browser was "the" Safari.

    But after writing basil-proxy I realized there is already a proxy with this name and the I stucked on garlic.

    And honestly; Who would trust a sensimilla- player, haze-launcher, kush-hub and bong-signage? 😂

    Maybe that’s just me not getting it, but why is this announced as CMS while it’s about Digital Signage?
