I’m building a self-hosted Confluence alternative called Docmost. It’s open-source and can run fully air-gapped.

I’m building Docmost, a self-hosted alternative to Notion and Confluence.

It’s open-source, easy to self-host and feature-packed.

GitHub: https://github.com/docmost/docmost.

I'm not sure DocMost is a Notion alternative, it's just a note-taking tool without many of the features that give Notion its unique position.

I'm always disappointed by note-taking tools calling themselves a Notion alternative when they do not provide an alternative to Notion and are instead just another note-taking tool with a simple UI.

If you want to be a Notion alternative provide the things that make Notion great, e.g. the database functionality. It's okay to be a simple colaborative notes tool, but that is not a Notion alternative.

Perhaps try it first before dismissing it as just a “note-taking tool,” which it isn’t.

We have support for team-spaces, permissions, diagrams, real-time collaboration, comments, page verification workflows, AI, SSO/LDAP, search, audit logs, API, public sharing, and a lot more.

Btw, we have plans to introduce a database-like feature.

Confluence and Notion are not equivalent products. Docmost looks to be similar to Confluence - a full fat wiki, but the whole point of Notion was its database-like features.

If you are looking for a self-hosted Confluence alternative, I am building Docmost - an enterprise-ready wiki solution.

We have support for spaces, real-time collaboration, built-in diagrams (drawio, mermaid, excalidraw), comments, groups/permissions and more.

I am also building https://docmost.com, a self-hostable Confluence alternative that can run fully air-gapped.

It has support for spaces, real-time collaboration, a rich-text editor, built-in diagrams support and more.

What does your enterprise pricing look like?

If anyone is looking for an alternative to Notion without the bloat, I’m building https://docmost.com.

It has a nice UI, real-time collaboration, diagrams support and more.

You can self-host it too.

I self host docmost and love it, thank you for making it!

Will you consider making it publishable as a wiki? The current share feature is close but forces me to share a specific URL and live-edit public pages.

The next sharing goal would be to make it possible to share an entire "Space", but not the "Workspace" itself.

Would that fit the ideas you have in mind?

Yes! I maintain documentation relating to music production and want to make it public, while also ideally also accepting contributions (though I'm not sure how that'd look like).

It would be nice to have a way to have WIP be private until I publish the changes.

I've been looking for a tool like this that can publish. I was thinking of some way to create a help doc system for end users, but interleaved with technical information and discussion for devs. IE to make the help documentation a single source of truth for application behaviour.

All this needs to work is the ability to mark blocks of the document as "public" so only that gets published properly. Any possibility of doing this currently or interest in supporting in the future?

I love so much how nice this looks. But I wish this was Obsidian or rather, a standalone app. I don't want a web app for notes. Notes are all files. Different use case I know but I wish so much Obsidian looked and felt more like your app/Notion.

Looking more into this, 4o actually produced a list of plugins that add functionality to do some of the things Notion excels at so that tells me that there probably is a way to get datatables etc.

I’m wondering if integrating this with nocodb mentioned above would work, as i also use databases in documents.

You could use the Iframe embed feature to embed your NocoDB databases.

That’s really clumsy ux wise (scrollbars, surrounding content on nocodb page probably). I’d need a deeper integration i.e ability to link to rows directly at a minimum using @ like in notion without looking up row url.

Very cool.

I wish tools like this could be embeddable. For example, being able to add it into existing apps.

I am building Docmost (Open-source alternative to Confluence and Notion).

We have integrated support for Excalidraw, Draw.io and Mermaid diagrams; Plus real-time collaboration.

This looks really good.

Docmost founder here.

Thanks for reporting the mobile table issue. I will have a look at it.

The fullwidth issue on mobile was recently reported. It will be fixed soon.

I appreciate your feedback.

If you are looking for a self-hostable Notion alternative, I am building Docmost, which is open source.

It has real-time collaboration and support for diagrams (drawio, excalidraw and mermaid).

It can be tempting to want to do it all, but I am focused on building a great wiki and documentation software.

I am glad you see the value in it. I appreciate your kind words. Thank you.

The docker installation script is for Ubuntu. I added it to help some users get started pretty quickly.

On the installation page, there is a link to the official Docker guide which comes first. That should help other users with an OS-specific installation guide.
