Garlic-Hub is a comprehensive Digital Signage Management solution that handles core CMS tasks alongside device management. From single-screen setups to distributed networks, it provides centralized control with flexibility for various signage environments.
Note: Garlic-Hub is under active development. This version is intended for evaluation and testing purposes. For production use, we recommend closely monitoring progress and providing feedback.
Current works:
- towards PHPStan Level 8 Compliance
- Simple User Management. Admin should create user tokenized to let them set their own passwords.
Garlic-Hub is being developed in three phases, each delivering a distinct edition:
| Edition | Target Environment | Key Features | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Edge (Phase 1) | Single-device or small deployments | Basic media management, SMIL playlist creation, lightweight architecture | ✅ MVP ready, in testing |
| Core (Phase 2) | Mid-sized networks, NAS | Limited device management, enhanced content creation | 🔄 Planned |
| Enterprise (Phase 3) | Large-scale networks | SaaS/on-premise, role-based permissions, advanced analytics | 🔄 Planned |
Each edition builds upon previous features, ensuring a smooth upgrade path as Garlic-Hub evolves into a comprehensive, SMIL-based digital signage solution.
