history
Project history and usage
Nuxeo is an open source, Java-based enterprise content management and digital asset management platform. Its GitHub README describes it as a customizable and extensible foundation for document management, DAM, case management, and knowledge management applications.
Project history
Founder Stefane Fermigier states that he founded Nuxeo in 2000 and served as CEO until 2008, then as executive chairman until 2011. Nuxeo evolved from an open source ECM company into a broader enterprise content platform, with public documentation, marketplace packages, REST APIs, Docker/ZIP installation flows, and long-term-support release tracks.
Adoption history
Hyland announced an agreement to acquire Nuxeo on 2021-03-04 and completed the acquisition on 2021-04-08. The completion announcement framed Nuxeo as a cloud-native, open-source, low-code content services and DAM platform, and said the acquisition followed Hyland's Alfresco acquisition to deepen Hyland's open-source content-services portfolio.
How it is used
Administrators normally operate Nuxeo as a server platform rather than as a small CLI. The `nuxeoctl` script manages server commands from the Docker image or the Tomcat ZIP `bin` directory, while `nuxeo.conf` holds runtime and template parameters. Add-ons and hotfixes can be installed from Marketplace or via `nuxeoctl`, which is why the Homebrew formula notes manual `$HOMEBREW_PREFIX/etc/nuxeo.conf` edits and `nuxeoctl mp-upgrade` after upgrades.
Why package nerds care
The Homebrew formula is mostly a convenience wrapper around a large enterprise Java application and its native document/media dependencies. On 2026-07-01, Homebrew listed the formula as deprecated with a disable date of 2026-08-14, stable version 11.4.42, and 366 installs over 365 days, which suggests residual local/admin usage rather than the main deployment path for the Hyland-era platform.
