This boilerplate includes the complete architecture that runs this portal:
- Astro SSR Frontend: Journal, portfolio, services, resources, digital garden pages (concepts, evidence, findings, questions). Multilingual (es/en/fr) with automatic translation.
- Strapi 5 CMS: 14 content types with repeatable components, i18n, and lifecycle hooks (search, OG images, cache invalidation).
- Python Synchronization Pipeline:
.md↔ YAML (13 files) ↔ graph.db (SQLite) ↔ Strapi. Includes referential integrity validation, evidence extraction, and unified CLI. - Knowledge Graph: 11 entity types (publications, concepts, questions, evidence, findings, themes, ADRs, relationships, projects, services, products) with 1,000+ typed relationships.
- Docker Infrastructure: Nginx + Astro + Strapi + Redis + PostgreSQL in a single docker-compose.yml.
The boilerplate is designed for someone who wants to build their own personal knowledge system, not just a blog. It includes the complete deployment guide and 30 days of email support.
- Private GitHub repository with the complete code: Astro frontend, Strapi CMS, Python pipeline, build scripts, tests
- Deployment guide (PDF, 40 pages): from empty VPS to operational portal with domain, SSL, and automatic backups
- Architecture documentation: component diagram, data flow, design decisions (ADRs) and documented trade-offs
- Configured synchronization pipeline: sync_graph.py, sync_strapi.py, build_graph_db.py, orchestrator.py — ready to use with your content
- 5 content templates: journal node, concept, evidence, project, service — with frontmatter and predefined sections
- Web dashboard for graph management: metrics, recommendations, health status (localhost:8080)
- Unified CLI:
python3 -m Grafos status/validate/pipeline/build/sync/analyze - 30 days of email support: 3 included consultations to resolve installation or configuration blockers
- Requirements: VPS with minimum 4GB RAM (Ubuntu 22.04+), Docker, Docker Compose, Node.js 22+, Python 3.10+, and a domain pointing to the server.
- Clone the repository:
git clone <repo-url> && cd digital-garden. Edit.envwith your credentials (PostgreSQL, Redis, OpenAI for translation). - Bring up the infrastructure:
docker compose up -d. This starts Nginx, Astro, Strapi, Redis and PostgreSQL. Wait 3 minutes on first boot (Strapi runs migrations). - Configure Strapi: Access
http://your-domain:1337/admin, create your admin user, and verify that the 14 content types are created. The guide has screenshots of each step. - Write your first node: Create a
.mdfile inDigital Garden/Publications/using the included template. Runpython3 -m Grafos pipelineto integrate it into the graph. - Sync with Strapi:
python3 Grafos/sync_strapi.py --push all. Your node will appear on the frontend athttp://your-domain/en/journal/your-slug. - Iterate: Add concepts, evidence, projects. The graph grows with each node. Use
python3 -m Grafos dashboardto see metrics and recommendations.
