Neos

Is Neos actively maintained?

We cannot measure this one. Neos is developed outside the platforms our data source collects activity from, and its repository lives at github.com — so there is no commit history or release cadence here to score.

Read that as missing data, not as a warning. Several of the best-maintained projects in this catalogue are unrated for exactly this reason. To judge it, open the repository and look at the date of the most recent commit yourself.

What Neos actually does

Neos is an open source content management system built with PHP. It provides a structured environment for creating and publishing digital content on a web server. As a general-purpose CMS, it helps teams manage website pages, media assets, and editorial workflows.

Best fit: It suits developers and organisations specifically looking for a PHP-based content management system under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a potential option if you prefer open source publishing platforms that you can host independently.

Worth knowing: Activity and release metrics are currently unavailable, which suggests you should carefully evaluate its current maturity and community backing before adopting it for critical projects. It also competes in a crowded ecosystem alongside much more widely deployed alternatives.

Deployment notes

As a PHP application, it typically requires a web server such as Nginx or Apache, a relational database like MySQL or PostgreSQL, and a persistent storage volume for uploaded assets. You will also need to configure a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
