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.

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.

Pi9h · 5 months ago

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?

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

Pi9h · 5 months ago

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

You can self-host it too.

I’ve been looking for something like this that also has a Whiteboard feature (think Miro) to deploy self-hosted at a small business.

It has taken me these places:

Obsidian - has whiteboard, but not collaborative. Sync plugin cannot be self hosted. Open source sync doesn’t have user management.

Affine - ditto. Also not completely open source.

Logseq - ditto. Some text editing features require advanced knowledge of databases to use (ie writing query) making it difficult to deploy to non-technical staff.

Excalidraw - whiteboards only.

I can't believe at this day, many products don't care about mobile viewing.

I thought it makes a big sense to write documents on PC and then view it elsewhere out there but developers don't seem to care about that usage.

Docmost makes tables completely unreadable on mobile having words wrap at the width of the device, especially when set as full-width which actually makes it even tighter for some odd reason.

Affine doesn't even support mobile at all and the GitHub issue about it is starting to age well.

AppFlowy does it the best of the bunch but it requires an app and it has minimal tablet support having only mobile app view than a native tablet view but at least it's usable having tables actually horizontally scroll as anyone would expect.

Outline isn't any better and a small test showed some weird behavior under mobile.

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.

The instructions to install Docker are clearly wrong on many Linux distributions. They add very little value, and are yet another thing that has to be maintained.

Pi9h · a year ago

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.
