What is it?

Oqtane is a content management system and application framework for modern .NET. It is built on Blazor and is designed so developers can focus on business logic instead of general infrastructure. Applications can run as Static Blazor, Blazor Server, Blazor WebAssembly, or Blazor Hybrid through .NET MAUI.

The framework is modular, with a page compositing model, multi-site support, themes, and third-party modules. Installation uses a setup wizard, and it supports SQL Server, SQLite, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. A module generator in the admin dashboard creates new module code that can be opened in Visual Studio.

The project is maintained as a .NET Foundation member and is distributed under the MIT license, with an application template for new projects and a community marketplace for modules and themes.
