I have a Vuepress repository on GitHub and I'm trying to use NetlifyCMS without the option to depoly on the Netlify website.
I can install the CMS without problems, with the config.yml and index.html files but if I go to www.site.com/admin I get the API error - Failed to load entry: API_ERROR: Not Found
If I create the OAuth App on GitHub I can use the https://api.netlify.com/auth/done Authorization callback URL and set up it with the Client ID and Client Secret on Netlify I won't get the API error but I only want the CMS option from Netlify. Is it possible?
I was trying to check the documentation but I got lost:
https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/add-to-your-site/
https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/authentication-backends/
The folder structure for admin services:
.vuepress
|_public
|_admin
|_config.yml
|_index.html
Inside admin folder:
config.yml:
backend:
name: github
accept_roles: #optional - accepts all users if left out
- admin
- editor
repo: "Company/repositoryName"
branch: master # Branch to update (optional; defaults to master)
publish_mode: editorial_workflow
media_folder: "/.vuepress/public/images"
public_folder: "/images"
collections:
- name: "docs" # Used in routes, e.g., /admin/collections/blog
label: "Docs" # Used in the UI
folder: "docs" # The path to the folder where the documents are stored
create: true # Allow users to create new documents in this collection
slug: "{{slug}}" # Filename template, e.g., YYYY-MM-DD-title.md
fields: # The fields for each document, usually in front matter
- {label: "Title", name: "title", widget: "string"}
- {label: "Body", name: "body", widget: "markdown"}
