Tour RotatorA custom CMS built to fix what the adult industry never solved

Tour Rotator was a fully automated multi-domain CMS built for the adult industry — with instant setup, domain control, encoding queues, nginx auto-config, and a flexible template builder. A powerful system engineered to solve problems no existing adult CMS could handle.

A CMS the industry never had

In the dating and adult entertainment world, one truth was impossible to ignore:
there was no normal CMS.

Creators relied on outdated scripts, fragile custom setups, or heavy enterprise tools like ElevatedX — powerful, yes, but 🔒 locked behind complexity that no solo creator could manage.

Tour Rotator set out to change that:
simple enough for one person, strong enough for an entire network.


From manual configs to a real installer

Early builds still required hand-crafted configuration.
Multi-domain logic existed — but only for those who knew how to wrestle with it.

Tour Rotator introduced a cleaner DNA:

  • ⚙️ a one-run installer for full system setup

  • 🌐 admin tools for adding and removing entire domains

  • 🧩 automatic provisioning for new sites

A multi-site CMS finally worked like software, not like a folder of scripts.


Encoding built directly into the system

To make the workflow production-ready, I integrated a queue-based encoding module.

It supported:

  • 💻 local encoding

  • 🖥️ dedicated remote encoding servers

A small creator could suddenly operate with studio-level processing power.


The move to nginx

As routing grew more advanced, Apache2 became a bottleneck.

Tour Rotator migrated to nginx, bringing:

  • ⚡ automatic config generation

  • 🚦 optimized routing for multi-domain setups

  • 🔧 cleaner, lighter server performance

During installation, the CMS configured the web server itself — a rare convenience at the time.


A template builder inside the admin panel

The final piece was a built-in template constructor.

From the admin panel, users could:

  • tweak layouts

  • build new themes

  • adjust structural blocks

No filesystem edits. No deployment steps.
Just click → update → live.


A polished system that stayed personal

Despite its strength, Tour Rotator never went public.

Not because it failed —
but because I built it while fully immersed in the dating industry, with no time to commercialize it.

It became a personal engineering sandbox — a system I kept refining simply because I wanted it to be excellent.


What remains

There are zero installations today.
But the architectural lessons traveled far:

  • 🔁 automated provisioning

  • 🌍 scalable multi-domain engines

  • 🎨 template systems

  • 📦 queue-based processing

  • 🧭 server-level integration

Tour Rotator wasn’t a product.
It was training for everything that later became QRaway.
