Sonic is a lightweight, high-performance blogging platform and CMS written in Go, inspired by the Halo project. It ships as a small single binary with an admin console, theming support, and multiple database and object storage backends.

Use cases

  • self-host a personal blog
  • run a lightweight CMS on a VPS
  • deploy a blog with Docker
  • start a blog with SQLite and no external dependencies
  • publish posts with a customizable theme
  • host blog media on S3-compatible object storage

When to choose

  • you want a fast, single-binary blog server in Go
  • you like Halo but prefer a Go backend
  • you need a small-footprint self-hosted CMS with SQLite or MySQL
  • you want cross-platform builds including ARM and MIPS

When to avoid

  • you need PostgreSQL support, which is not yet implemented
  • you need a mature plugin ecosystem or enterprise CMS features
  • you prefer headless CMS with a separate API-first architecture
