Open source alternative to Confluence, Notion and Document360
Last verified
Build a self-hosted team wiki with nested pages, real-time collaboration, and AGPL-3.0 licensed source code.
Docmost gives engineers a private wiki for incident notes, architecture pages, and onboarding docs with collaborative editing.
Skip if your docs must integrate deeply with Atlassian issue tracking and enterprise Confluence administration.
Use Docmost to centralize company docs while keeping data on infrastructure you control.
Skip if your team relies on Notion databases, formulas, and third-party templates more than wiki pages.
Team knowledge often ends up split between Notion pages, Confluence spaces, chat threads, and private docs. The more important the documentation becomes, the more painful vendor lock-in, export limits, and per-seat pricing feel.
Small teams need a shared workspace that is easy enough for everyone to edit, but technical enough to host privately, control access, and keep long-term operational knowledge in their own database.
Supports rich pages with real-time collaborative editing, comments, and nested organization for team documentation.
Lets teams separate company docs, product notes, engineering runbooks, and private areas with access controls.
Docmost is designed to run on your own infrastructure with a backend, database, and file storage instead of locking documents inside a SaaS workspace.
Docmost and Confluence both help teams maintain internal documentation. Docmost is open source and self-hosted; Confluence is a proprietary Atlassian product with a larger enterprise ecosystem.
Docmost is better when a small team wants control over its wiki and does not need the full Atlassian stack. Confluence is still better for large organizations that depend on Atlassian governance, marketplace integrations, and existing Jira workflows.
Yes. Docmost is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license.
Docmost can replace Confluence for team wikis, spaces, permissions, and collaborative documentation. Confluence remains stronger for organizations already committed to Atlassian administration and marketplace apps.
Yes. Docmost is built for self-hosting and documents deployment requirements in its project docs.
