A full-featured Yii2 application template designed to bootstrap advanced PHP websites quickly. It ships with a ready-made admin backend based on AdminLTE 3, CMS components for articles, pages and menus, RBAC user management, and a Docker-based development environment.

Use cases

• bootstrap a new Yii2 web application
• ready-made admin panel with RBAC for PHP
• yii2 cms starter template
• kickstart a PHP project with a Docker dev environment
• manage articles, static pages and menus in a PHP site
• admin dashboard with logs viewer and system monitoring

When to choose

• You are starting a new site or web app on Yii2 and want admin backend, RBAC, file manager and CMS features out of the box
• You want a preconfigured Docker-based workflow so new PHP projects start consistently
• You need a proven template with a live demo and documented components instead of assembling a stack yourself

When to avoid

• Your project uses a framework other than Yii2 or a language other than PHP
• You want a minimal micro-framework or bare skeleton rather than an opinionated full application
• You need a headless/API-only backend with no admin UI, since the kit is oriented toward full sites with a backend dashboard
