This is a sample Nikola blog, compatible with Netlify CMS.
Hit this one button:
And then configure it in Netlify’s panel. Go to the Identity section of Settings, and:
- Enable Identity service
- Set it to Invite only
- Enable social login (or not) — GitHub would be nice
- Enable Git Gateway (at the bottom)
- Add users on the Identity tab (top of the page) if necessary.
Also, consider changing your site name in the General settings, and site URL in files/admin/config.yml. You should end up with a site with the Netlify CMS available in /admin/. Congratulations!
PS. Netlify CMS can be used without Netlify’s CDN/hosting service, but that requires some extra configuration work. Also, preview images require theme support (not available in the default).
