dotCMS

At enterprise scale, asset chaos becomes a compliance risk.

Hundreds of teams. Multiple regions. Dozens of channels. Every piece of content needs to be approved, current, and traceable — before it goes anywhere.

Digital Asset Management gives compliance-led organizations a governed, centralized library where every asset is tagged, versioned, and distributed through controlled workflows. The right content reaches the right channel, every time.

Upload. Tag. Manage. Distribute. At any scale.

Headless doesn’t have to feel complicated.

In this tutorial, Afaq Javed, our Developer Relations lead, walks through how to set up a local dotCMS instance with Docker, clone the official Next.js headless starter kit, and connect your frontend using API tokens and environment variables.
