Strapi CMS Integration
Get a complete integration between Kontainer DAM & PIM and the open-source, code-first CMS, Strapi.
With the integration, images, videos, and files from Kontainer can be used directly in Strapi’s admin panel through a File Picker. The integration is set up and maintained via API, so you always work with the latest, approved files — without duplicate work or local copies.
The solution is ideal for development teams building on Node.js, React, or Next.js, and for companies looking for a flexible alternative to traditional CMS platforms.
Description
Make your headless CMS smarter with Kontainer DAM
Strapi is an open-source, headless CMS built on Node.js and JavaScript/TypeScript. With its flexible content-type builder and API-first approach (REST and GraphQL), Strapi is a popular choice for developers who want full control over data models and frontend.
With the Kontainer integration, you get a central media library connected directly to Strapi’s content management — so you avoid manual uploads, duplicate files, and scattered file handling. Images, videos, documents, and other files are delivered directly from Kontainer, where they are version-controlled, structured, and enriched with metadata.

Why?
Why integrate Strapi with Kontainer?
Strapi is often used when development teams want full control over data models and a flexible API for their frontend. Without a central DAM solution, images and files typically end up scattered across multiple systems, in different versions, and without consistent metadata.
By integrating Strapi with Kontainer, you get:
✔ One single source of truth for all your digital assets
✔ Less manual work for editors and developers
✔ Consistent use of approved and up-to-date files across channels
✔ A setup ready for composable and omnichannel architecture
Kontainer manages your assets, while Strapi manages your content and frontend.
Use Cases
How the integration is used in practice
- Product data and e-commerce

Marketing teams can build landing pages and campaign sites in Strapi, where images and videos are always the latest approved assets from Kontainer. - Multi-brand and multi-market setups
Companies with multiple brands or markets can reuse the same Strapi components while the correct, localized assets are automatically pulled from Kontainer. - Structured content modeling
Developers can build content types in Strapi that reference files and metadata directly from Kontainer via the API — without storing files locally.
