Can I use Wekan as a CMS?

Can I use Wekan as a CMS?

Hi, I'm a teacher and currently use Trello as a CMS, not as a "to-do" management. It is very easy and fast to use to organize content and programming of my courses at school. I can add formatted text (with markdown), images, videos, links, attach documents and files to each card, I can do searches, I can share it with colleagues and invite them to collaborate... It is taking a lot of time and effort and I would like to have all the data under my control, and I was wondering if I could use Wekan to do the same.

Thanks.

          Installation is not a problem. I was referring rather to whether I could do the same things I do in Trello but in Wekan.

            I have been playing with Wekan for a while at sandstorm.io and I really like it and I can see many possibilities in Wekan.

              The text format is well preserved. The problems I see would be related to the size of the images, which retain their original size (take a look at the attachment). I also don't know if I will be able to embed youtube videos.

                Here's what it looks like on Trello:

                  Sometime I could add generating thumbnails of images. It would make loading boards faster.
