Run it on your machine
Docker or one script. SQLite is enough to open admin. Buy a domain after you like it.

Three jobs: understand the product, install it, then restyle. The menu stays short.
Point the vhost at public
Document root is public, PHP 8.4, cron schedule:run every minute. Env, rewrite, and cron are in System docs.
Restyle with tags
Themes live in resources/views/themes/. Lists, SEO, and paging use @vod*. Do not query the DB in templates.
Capabilities
The V10 six blocks are still here — the stack is Laravel
We only list what the repo actually ships.
Easy to run
Web wizard, one script, or Docker. SQLite works locally. Point the vhost at public and add the cron line.
Theme tags
Front templates use @vod* for videos, types, topics, and actors. Edit files under resources/views/themes/.
Admin
Videos, collect, members, themes, monitor, and help live at /admin. Admin copy is split for zh / en / zh-TW.
Modules
Core is video, articles, topics, actors, members. Comics, novels, live TV, and galleries are plugins — not fake video types.
Docs in the product
The in-app help — usage, tags, env, rewrite, cron, Docker — is on this site, not a second handbook.
Plugins
Pay, AI SEO, danmaku, shop, WeChat, and OAuth live in plugins/. Turn one off and its routes leave with it.
Catalog
Video first. Comics, novels, and live TV are optional.
Video
Types, filters, detail, multi-source play, download pages. Feeds ingest from resource APIs.
Articles / topics
News and topic hubs. Front paths /arts and /topics.
Actors
People database linked to titles. Front path /actors.
Members
Sign-up, points, VIP, favorites. Pay and shop attach as plugins.
Comics
Separate titles, chapters, and shelves. /manga goes away when the plugin is off.
Novels
Separate library, chapter reader, member shelf.
Live TV
IPTV channel list with multiple sources — not user live rooms.
Gallery
Separate albums, tags, favorites, and stats.
vs V10
Coming from Apple CMS V10? Read this first.
V10 is ThinkPHP + Layui. V12 is Laravel 13 + Blade tags. Features line up; paths do not. Do not unzip over V10.
| Item | Apple CMS V10 | Apple CMS V12 |
|---|---|---|
| Stack | ThinkPHP + Layui | Laravel 13 |
| PHP / database | PHP 5.5+、MySQL 5.5+ | PHP 8.4+，SQLite to try / MySQL in production |
| Themes | Mac tags + TP tags | @vod* Blade tags, own theme folder |
| Install | Drop files + wizard | Docker / install.sh / web wizard |
| Collect | Resource-site APIs | Feed sources + site-collect plugin (HTML / RSS / JSON) |
| Extra content | Video, articles, topics, stars, roles | Same core; comics / novels / live / gallery are plugins |
| Pay / AI | Core or third-party forks | Pay and AI SEO plugins. Empty keys fail; they do not fake success. |
| License | MIT | MIT |

FAQ
Ask these before you install
No. V12 is a Laravel rewrite. Folders, tags, and the database differ. Collect, play, members, topics, and plugins still exist. Migrate data — do not unzip over V10.
No. AI here is the AI SEO plugin: it calls an OpenAI-compatible API with the title data. Empty keys fail. No bundled cloud storage pack, no App builder.
The V10 scene had fake domains shipping backdoors. Only use the Git repo you configure and the download notes on this site. Skip “special builds”.
The code is MIT. You are responsible for content, sources, and fees. Do not collect or host infringing material. The pay plugin does not fake a success without keys.
Collect, hit reset, and monitor need php artisan schedule:run. Use the PHP CLI binary, not php-fpm.
Start
Get it running locally, then pick a domain and feeds
Open /install, pick the file database, and you can reach admin. Switch to MySQL later and set APP_URL to your domain.
