What it is

Orchard Core is a modular, multi-tenant application framework and content management system (CMS) built on ASP.NET Core. It provides both a reusable framework for building tenant-aware applications and a production-ready CMS built atop that framework, enabling organizations to deploy scalable, mission-critical web content platforms with pluggable module architecture. Monorepo structure: src/OrchardCore.Build contains shared build configuration and target frameworks; src/OrchardCore.Modules contains pluggable modules (e.g., OrchardCore.Admin); src/OrchardCore.Cms.Web is the reference CMS web application; src/OrchardCore.AspireHost manages .NET Aspire orchestration. Frontend assets use…

Read these in order:

  • src/OrchardCore.Modules/OrchardCore.Apis.GraphQL/Assets/css/graphiql-orchard.css — Foundation: doesn't import anything internally and is imported by 1 other file. Read first to learn the vocabulary.
  • src/OrchardCore.Modules/OrchardCore.AuditTrail/Assets/scss/styles.scss — Foundation: imported by 1, no internal dependencies of its own.
  • src/OrchardCore.Modules/OrchardCore.Apis.GraphQL/Assets/js/App.tsx — Built on the foundation; imported by 0 downstream files.
  • src/OrchardCore.Modules/OrchardCore.AuditTrail/Assets/js/App.tsx — Built on the foundation; imported by 0 downstream files.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone with: git clone https://github.com/OrchardCMS/OrchardCore.git. Install .NET SDK matching TargetFrameworks.props (verify before running). Restore dependencies with dotnet restore. Run reference CMS via `dotnet…

Daily commands:

For CMS: dotnet run --project src/OrchardCore.Cms.Web/OrchardCore.Cms.Web.csproj. For Aspire host: dotnet run --project src/OrchardCore.AspireHost/OrchardCore.AspireHost.csproj. Check launchSettings.json for configu…

Key cautions & unknowns

  • Scorecard: default branch unprotected (0/10)
  • Multi-tenancy complexity: Data isolation is enforced by middleware and drivers; misconfiguring tenant routing or shell resolution can leak data between tenants. Shape rendering system: Admin UI uses custom…
  • Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
