About Joomla

Joomla is a content management system for building websites and online applications. It runs on a server with PHP and either MySQL, MariaDB, or PostgreSQL, and is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2 or later.

Thousands of free extensions and templates let you customize a site to fit specific needs, and the system has built-in support for publishing content in multiple languages. Joomla 5.x is the current source line, and installable stable and nightly packages are available through the official downloads site.
