Conloca vs Dhub

Conloca is a free, open-source content management system built specifically for Astro websites. Its browser editor, powered by Puck, lets editors assemble and update pages with drag-and-drop components. Content is stored as VXJSON files in the project’s Git repository, without a database or external service dependency. Every edit creates a Git commit with author attribution, allowing teams to review differences and revert changes. Separate content can be maintained for each configured locale, and MDX combines Markdown with components. Conloca includes live preview and a media library. When editors change one page simultaneously, ETag-based conflict detection displays a resolution dialog. The system writes to a temporary file before atomically renaming it to reduce partial writes after a crash. It runs on Bun and can deploy in Docker, on a VPS with systemd or behind a Cloudflare Tunnel. Cloudflare Access authentication with JWT validation is available out of the box. Conloca costs nothing.

Dhub is a Git-based content management system for technical documentation kept in Markdown or MDX files in GitHub repositories. Its visual editor lets contributors work with that content without writing Markdown syntax. Teams can edit in real time, including members who do not have GitHub accounts, and can push changes, create pull requests, or pull the latest repository changes. Dhub works with projects built on Docusaurus, Next.js, TanStack Start, Astro, Hugo, VitePress, and Fumadocs. The editor supports image uploads and management, including paths and storage. Teams can rearrange a documentation sidebar visually, with its structure saved to navigation.json; Docusaurus and Fumadocs need an adapter for this feature. Pull-request changes from teammates or AI agents can appear as page highlights for review. The free Hobby plan is limited to personal, non-commercial use, personal GitHub accounts, public repositories, and pushes to the default branch. Paid plans start at $16/mo, with a 14-day trial listed.
