GoPress is a self-hosted blog and knowledge-base engine. The backend is written in Go, the frontend in Vue 3, and the data model is compatible with WordPress's wp_* tables — so an existing site's posts, categories, tags and comments can move across without being rewritten.
Keep WordPress's content model without carrying a PHP runtime and a pile of plugin debt. GoPress keeps the schema and replaces the rest.
01
WordPress compatible
Reuses wp_posts, wp_terms and the rest of the schema, including seed data — migrating a site needs no content rewrite.
02
Markdown writing
Markdown-first editor with live preview. Each post records its own content_format, so old and new content coexist.
03
Pages and wiki links
Page trees, [[wiki links]], backlinks, tables of contents and macros. Long-term notes live beside the blog.
04
Bilingual UI
Switch between Chinese and English; the preference is stored locally. The API is language-neutral, so mobile clients read the same content.
05
Unified login
OIDC through Casdoor with RS256 verification. Admin rights come straight from token claims, so the UI and API agree.
06
Self-hosted
Ship it with one docker compose file or a set of Kubernetes manifests. Data, domain and backups stay in your hands.
Where it came from
GoPress began as a Go rewrite of a live WordPress site. Rather than rewriting the content, the data layer maps the wp_* tables directly; Markdown, page trees and wiki macros were added on top so the same install works as a blog and as a knowledge base. This site's blog runs on it.
