Lyra CMS

<p>Lyra is our own open-source content platform, built on Orchard Core and released under the MIT licence. It targets the gap between a site builder that is too rigid and a CMS that takes a specialist to run.</p><h2>Multi-tenant from the start</h2><p>A single deployment hosts many independent sites. Each tenant gets its own database, content, theme and enabled modules. Tenants are provisioned from the platform admin, or self-service through a public signup form that returns a working site in one request.</p><h2>Modules that bring their own admin</h2><p>Installing a module can add an entire admin section without touching core code. The bundled commerce module is the reference case: it introduces a product content type, its own Products screen with price and stock at a glance, and a storefront widget.</p><h2>AI-assisted page building</h2><p>Describe a page in plain language and Lyra proposes a layout using only the widgets that tenant actually has installed, created as an editable draft for review before publishing. The AI backend is pluggable — a zero-config mock provider for local work, or a hosted model — so the platform is never tied to one vendor.</p><h2>Simple where it counts</h2><p>Public pages are server-rendered with no separate front-end build, which keeps them fast and easy to host. The complexity sits in the admin, where it belongs. The whole thing runs locally with a single Docker Compose command.</p>
