Getting Started
Automad is a PHP application that runs on most standard web servers. The system requirements are intentionally minimal, and you can choose between several installation options depending on your setup. Alternatively you can also try out a live demo first.
Configuration
Automad is a flat-file content management system designed for performance and straightforward configuration. Configuration can be managed through several methods depending on the context and scope of the settings being configured.
Caching
Caching is essential for site performance and should generally be enabled. However, there are circumstances where you might want to disable or clear your cache. The dashboard provides an easy way to manage your cache behavior with just a few clicks.
Email Configuration
Automad requires proper email configuration on your server to send transactional emails using PHP. These emails are sent for user invitations, password resets, and when using the mail block on a page.
AI Integration
Automad offers AI assistance for content editing within the block editor. This feature is optional and can be fully disabled. To use AI writing assistance, you must connect at least one supported AI provider.
Debugging
Understanding what Automad is doing internally can be helpful during theme and extension development or when troubleshooting an installation. Debug logging can be enabled temporarily through System Setting → Debug.
