Docmost
Docmost is an open-source wiki for teams that you can self-host even in air-gapped networks—a great alternative to Confluence.
Docmost is an open-source wiki for internal team documentation, positioned as an alternative to Confluence and Notion. The key difference from most competitors: Docmost is designed for self-hosting and runs even in completely isolated networks without internet access.
For companies with strict IT requirements, this is exactly the point. You run the wiki on your own server, multiple people edit pages simultaneously in real-time, and permissions and spaces keep sensitive content separate. An enterprise edition adds SSO, AI, and API access.
Compared to hosted Confluence, you save on license costs and keep your data in-house, but you take on the operational overhead: installation, updates, and backups are up to you. If you don't have your own IT team, you'll be up and running faster with Outline or a cloud-based wiki.
The right choice for organizations with their own IT and strict data protection or security requirements. Small teams without server administration are better off choosing a hosted solution.
