## Description

journali is a product information management system (PIM) in the browser: products and variants, attributes and attribute groups, translations, media with derived images, publication trees per channel and market, workflows and releases. Every change is an entry in a journal, the single source of truth, so the history of each value stays visible. Plugins add import and export (CSV, Excel, JSON), data quality checks, scheduled jobs, AI texts and a product advisor for a website. Test version for testing and evaluation. Needs PostgreSQL 18; install the app journali-db first (PostgreSQL 18 with the vector extension for semantic search) or use an existing PostgreSQL 18. The first visit of the web UI asks for the database connection and creates the first administrator. Licence: AGPL-3.0.

## Platform availability

Available on 1 of 9 platforms: Unraid.
