Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need a lightweight, stable CMS for Django projects and accept maintenance-mode constraints. The package is production-stable, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and works with current Django versions (3.2–4.1). However, do not install if you require active feature development or support for Django versions beyond 4.1—the last release was in October 2022, and no new features will be added.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Django 3.2, 4.0, 4.1 or later; Python 3.6 or later.

What it is and what it does
Django Fiber is a simple, Django-based CMS that has been in production use since 2011. It provides a web interface for managing page hierarchies and content, integrated with Django's admin and backed by a REST API. The package depends on django-mppt for tree structures, django-compressor for asset optimization, djangorestframework for API endpoints, and easy-thumbnails for image handling.
The project is currently in maintenance mode—it receives updates to stay compatible with current Django and dependency releases, but no new features are planned. It is suitable for projects that need straightforward page and content management without the complexity of larger CMS platforms. Setup involves adding apps to INSTALLED_APPS, configuring middleware, and including Fiber's URL patterns.
Use it for
- Build a simple website with editable pages and hierarchical content structure managed through Django admin.
- Add a lightweight CMS layer to an existing Django project without replacing the entire application.
- Serve page content via REST API for headless or decoupled frontend consumption.
- Manage image assets and thumbnails alongside page content using integrated image handling.
- Create a multi-page site where non-technical users can edit content through a web interface.
