Docmost

What Docmost is

Docmost is an open-source collaborative wiki and documentation tool for teams creating and maintaining shared knowledge. Multiple people can edit pages at once, with live cursors and immediate synchronization. Its Bases organize information in table and Kanban views with properties, filters, sorts, and formulas; the editor also offers Draw.io, Excalidraw, and Mermaid diagram tools. Teams can import material from Confluence, Notion, HTML, and Markdown files, and use AI chat, search, writing assistance, and MCP with cloud models or local models such as Ollama. Docmost can run on a customer's own infrastructure, and its documentation says data remains on those servers. The homepage says on-premises deployment can support ITAR, GDPR data sovereignty, and FedRAMP requirements, including air-gapped networks. Community is open source and includes page history and restore, full-text search, spaces, and public sharing. Business costs $6 a month per seat when billed annually, with a 10-seat minimum. Docker Compose with PostgreSQL and Redis is the recommended installation method.
