What it is
Osclass is free, open-source PHP and MySQL software for building self-hosted classifieds sites, marketplaces, real-estate directories, car listings, job boards, and niche sales platforms. Core tools cover listings, nested categories, custom fields, comments, media uploads, users, moderation, locations, currencies, SEO routes, themes, plugins, and an administrative back office. It runs on PHP 7.4 or newer with CURL, MySQLi, and GD, using MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB, and needs 10 MB of disk for a base installation. The approximately 7 MB package can be installed through a web installer after database credentials are prepared. Translation files, multiple active languages, RTL where themes support it, emoji-capable utf8mb4, and locale currencies are included. SEO controls include canonical URLs, hreflang, search rules, relevance sorting, RSS controls, and staging noindex settings. The Apache-licensed core is free, while themes, plugins, language packs, geolocation data, and commercial bundles may cost extra.
