Docmost is an open-source collaborative wiki and documentation platform that serves as a self-hostable alternative to Confluence and Notion for teams and enterprises.

🚀 Overview

Docmost is an enterprise-ready, open-source wiki software designed for modern teams to securely manage and collaborate on company knowledge. It addresses the limitations of proprietary tools like Confluence and Notion, such as high costs, vendor lock-in, and lack of on-premises deployment options, by offering a fully self-hostable solution with powerful features like real-time editing and AI assistance.

This project is built for development teams, enterprises, and organizations needing compliant, air-gapped knowledge bases. It supports easy migration from Confluence, Notion, and other formats, ensuring teams can centralize documentation without compromising security or control.

Docmost was created to provide a free, open-source alternative with enterprise-grade capabilities, empowering self-hosting enthusiasts and businesses to own their data while benefiting from active community development.
