Docmost

Docmost is open source software for collaborative wikis and documentation, built for teams that would rather keep internal knowledge on infrastructure they control than in a hosted notes product.

Content is organized into spaces, with groups and permissions management deciding who reads and writes where. Pages keep their history, comments sit next to the text, and several people can edit the same page at the same time.

The editor is where most of the differences show up.

• Diagrams: Draw.io, Excalidraw and Mermaid diagrams are created inside a page.
• Embeds: content from Airtable, Loom, Miro and other services is embedded directly.
• Attachments: files can be attached to any page.
• Search: pages are searchable across the whole workspace.
• Translations: the interface is available in more than ten languages.

The codebase splits a server and a client application, with enterprise directories held apart from the core. Docmost core is licensed AGPL 3.0, while the files under those enterprise directories fall under a separate enterprise license, a distinction that matters if you plan to modify and redistribute.

Self-hosting and development instructions live in the documentation, and a hosted cloud version exists for teams that would rather not deploy anything themselves.
