What Daminik is
Daminik is an open-source digital asset manager with a built-in content delivery network for central asset management. The hosted version is currently disabled, so the documented path is installing and deploying it on your own server. The project is built with PHP, described as GDPR-compliant, and released under the MIT license. Documented image support covers PNG, JPG, WebP, and GIF through ImageMagick. Deployment requires PHP 8.2 or higher, Node 18 or higher, MySQL 8, and S3-compatible storage. S3-compatible storage is configured by default; local storage is intended only for local development. Service emails require a mail account, with SMTP and Mailjet identified as tested transports. Registration uses a registration secret. Documentation recommends a daily command to remove soft-deleted assets after 30 days. The maker is Daminik; its imprint identifies Asterios Digital GmbH in Cologne, Germany.
Who it suits
It suits teams wanting a self-hosted, open-source asset manager and the ability to manage files centrally. It requires server administration and the documented PHP, Node, MySQL, and storage stack.
