Webwow

A no-code platform that combines a visual HTML editor with a dynamic CMS running on [ycode][ycode-repo]. It serves as an open-source and selfhost Webflow alternative featuring a seamless migration assistant.

Quick Start: docker pull html67/webwow:latest

Key Features

• Docker, no need for Supabase and Vercel
• "State of the art" UX Theme
• Migration Assistant (beta)

Migration Assistant (beta)

Bring existing sites into Webwow:

Importer	Files needed
ycode	export.ycode file
Webflow	export.zip
Webflow CMS	export.zip + collection_A.csv,collection_B.csv + www.url.xyz

Configuration

The defaults in docker-compose.yml are meant for local use. Before exposing Webwow to the internet, change at least these two values in the app service:

Variable	Purpose	Default
ADMIN_PASSWORD	Login password for the builder (empty = login disabled)	changeme
PAGE_AUTH_SECRET	Secret for signing auth cookies — generate with openssl rand -hex 32	placeholder
DATABASE_URL	PostgreSQL connection string	points to the bundled db service
UPLOAD_DIR	Directory for uploaded assets	/app/uploads (Docker volume)

Uploads and the database are persisted in the named volumes uploads and postgres_data, so your data survives updates and container rebuilds.

Manual Installation

Option 1: Docker

Download this repository, then:

docker compose up -d

The builder is now available at http://localhost:3002.

Updating to a new version:

docker compose pull && docker compose up -d       # prebuilt image
docker compose up -d --build                      # built from source

Option 2: Development Setup

If you want to work on the code directly, you need Node.js 20+ and a running PostgreSQL instance:

cp .env.example .env    # set DATABASE_URL, ADMIN_PASSWORD, PAGE_AUTH_SECRET
npm ci
npm run migrate:latest
npm run dev             # starts on http://localhost:3002

Documentation & Support

Since Webwow runs on ycode,the ycode documentation is the best reference for the builder and CMS features. There is no official support for Webwow. But your AI coding assistant may do a great job, we left a lot of markdown context files to index the code.

Contributing

*Put your energy into yCode ;-)

We are working on:

• Medusa.js native shop integration, Shopify importer
• Better component and animation Import, universal AI Importer
• Transition from Tailwind back to native CSS & HTML67
