Hi yall. Can someone recommend a good resource for netlify-cms setup without netlify. I’m deploying on my own physical server behind apache2 with Gatsby. All of the netlify provided tutorials use netlify hosting and authentication. The Gatsby provided tutorials do the same. I specifically would like to know how to setup authentication for admin page. Also either how to setup the content server locally or how to reference a remote content server but keep the rest of the site locally
This is a pretty good post about setting up your own authentication: Using a Custom OAuth Provider with NetlifyCMS. It’s obviously opinionated but I hope it helps.

I signed up for this forum just to say thank you four years later. They still haven’t updated the documentation!

I think most references to it have been removed from the documentation.

There are some other alternatives out there too, some of which I’ve encountered are:
