mariadb example
A second reference host application, running the CMS on MariaDB instead of Postgres.
Where examples/basic is the full setup — Tailwind, the media
library, a login CAPTCHA, blog & news, a custom admin section — this one is
the opposite: the smallest host that does something real. No build step, no
Node, no object store. The stylesheet is a <style> block in
templates/base.gohtml.
Run it
docker compose up -d # MariaDB on localhost:3309
go run .
Then open http://localhost:4200/admin/ and log in with
admin@example.com / password123.
There is no content yet: create a page from Pages → New, leaving the slug
empty to make it the homepage. Then visit /, click Edit in the bar at
the bottom, and change the text in place.
To start over with an empty database:
docker compose rm -sfv mariadb && docker compose up -d
What this example shows
MariaDB needs four DSN settings. They are in defaultDSN in main.go,
each with a comment explaining what breaks without it. The one that bites
hardest is clientFoundRows=true: without it MySQL and MariaDB report rows
changed rather than rows matched, so re-saving a record with unchanged
values looks to the CMS like "no such row" and the save fails.
Config.Dialect must be set explicitly. database/sql does not expose
which driver a pool was opened with, so the CMS cannot detect it. "mysql"
covers MariaDB too — they share one dialect.
A host without Tailwind owns its own classes. The built-in
SectionStyles and EditorStyles are Tailwind class names, which render as
nothing here. main.go overrides both with class names that
templates/base.gohtml defines. Worth knowing when you write your own:
| Field | Where it lands |
|---|---|
Background Class |
the <section> wrapper |
Background ContentClass |
the inner <div> (this is how the built-in dark and accent backgrounds add prose-invert) |
Corner Class |
the <section> wrapper, so the radius clips the background |
Width Class |
the inner <div> |
Width ContentClass |
unused |

Overview ¶
Command mariadb is a second reference host application for the CMS, running on MariaDB instead of Postgres.
It is deliberately the plainest possible host: hand-written CSS in the layout, no Tailwind, no build step, no object store. Start the database and run it —
docker compose up -d go run .
— then open http://localhost:4200/admin/ and log in with admin@example.com / password123.
See examples/basic for the fuller setup: Tailwind, the media library, a login CAPTCHA, and a custom admin section.
