# Deploy Instatic with Easypanel

URL: /templates/instatic

Instatic is a self-hosted CMS with an integrated visual canvas editor. Design pages, reusable components, and content models in one Bun server backed by SQLite, then publish plain semantic HTML and compact CSS with no builder runtime shipped to visitors.

## Installation notes

Open the app URL and the first visit walks you through creating your site and owner account — there is no separate signup page, so do this before sharing the URL with anyone else. Everything (database, uploads, and published output) is stored on the persistent volume, so back it up if the site matters.

## Benefits

### One Server, No Stack to Assemble

The editor, content engine, media, auth, forms, and publisher all run from a single Bun server, with no separate CMS, host, or CDN to wire together.

### Clean Published Output

Published pages are plain semantic HTML and compact CSS with no editor runtime, builder attributes, or hydration step left behind.

### No External Database Required

Runs on SQLite by default, so there is nothing extra to provision or manage for most sites.

## Features

### Canvas Visual Editor

Design pages visually with breakpoint editing and a built-in design token system for type, spacing, and color.

### Reusable Components

Build typed components with parameters and slots that stay consistent across every page that uses them.

### Native Forms and Media

Collect form submissions straight into your own CMS data tables and manage uploads in a dedicated media workspace.

### Sandboxed Plugin System

Extend the CMS with permissioned plugins that can add admin pages, routes, and frontend assets.
