## What it is
Halo is a powerful and easy-to-use open-source website building tool (CMS) written in Java, supporting blogs, knowledge bases, corporate sites, and online stores. It features a plugin and theme architecture, built-in full-text search, RESTful APIs, and AI-assisted content capabilities, deployable via Docker.

## Use cases
- build a personal blog
- create a knowledge base with search
- set up a company website
- launch an online store
- self-host a CMS on Docker
- migrate a blog from another platform

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted blog or CMS with rich themes and plugins
- you need a lightweight site builder deployable via Docker
- you want blog, docs, and store capabilities in one platform
- you prefer a Chinese-ecosystem CMS with active community

## When to avoid
- you need a headless-only CMS with no bundled frontend
- you require non-GPL licensing for redistribution
- you need a static-site generator rather than a dynamic server
