Docmost

Docmost is an open-source wiki and documentation software for teams. It enables real-time collaborative editing of knowledge documents and is considered a modern open-source alternative to Confluence and Notion. We successfully deploy Docmost for numerous clients and are happy to assist you with installation, configuration, and operation.

Yes, Docmost can be operated fully GDPR-compliant. We host your instance exclusively on German servers, ensuring your data never leaves the EU. Full data sovereignty remains with you – without dependency on US cloud providers.

Docmost is open source and self-hostable, giving you full control over your data without high licensing costs. Since Atlassian discontinued the self-hosted Confluence Server version, we advise many companies on migrating to Docmost. You get modern features like real-time collaboration and integrated diagram tools – without expensive plugin licenses.

Docmost offers an official import function for Confluence content in the Enterprise Edition. The import supports page content, hierarchies, attachments, and internal links. The process runs asynchronously via an import queue to handle large amounts of data. We're happy to assist you with the migration to ensure data integrity and correct permissions during the transition.

The free open-source version (AGPL-3.0) offers all core features: real-time collaboration, rich-text/Markdown editor, spaces, groups/permissions, comments, versioning, diagram support, and file attachments. The Enterprise version adds Confluence/Notion import, full-text search in attachments, SSO/LDAP/OIDC authentication, and professional support. For smaller teams, the Community version is often sufficient – for enterprises with compliance requirements or existing identity infrastructure, we recommend the Enterprise Edition.

Docmost uses a role-based permission system. For each space, you can define which users or groups have full access, edit rights, or read-only access. We assist you with the initial setup of your permission structure.
