Hello,
i would like to use Kirby as a headless CMS. I have already tried something with a virtual server (XAMPP) and it works quite well. Now I want to try it on a real server. I currently only have my webspace with one domain available. Is it possible to upload the Kirby_Startkit folder via ftp and then access the panel without a separate domain?
Thanks a lot
Jens
Welcome to the comunity. You dont say what are you are using for the frontend, so i am assuming something like javascript to read the data.
You can put kirby and the panel on a subdomain, and read from there in your javascript SPA (or however you are doing that side of it).
if you already have some static content (not wordpress etc these would prevent routing) on your current domain you could also put kirby in a subfolder. you will have to modify the htaccess accordingly.

The frontend will be a media installation for a museum, programmed with VVVV https://vvvv.org. The idea is that the curators of the museum can upload their content online and the VVVV software (local PC) will load the content via a pure file path. Therefore I am looking for a simple headless CMS.

It’s unfortunately wordpress.
any headless cms will need a url to access the api. since kirby is selfhosted you need some way to set it up. other cms offer the api url as SaaS.
