Docmost

Docmost is an open-source, self-hosted wiki platform that enables teams to manage documentation, collaborate in real-time, and host internal knowledge.

Docmost acts as an on-premises wiki and documentation platform for teams. It allows users to edit pages simultaneously with live cursors and supports diagramming tools like Draw.io, Excalidraw, and Mermaid. The system includes a self-hosted AI assistant that connects to documentation to provide answers, search content, and communicate via the Model Context Protocol. It supports imports from Confluence, Notion, HTML, and Markdown files. Organizations can manage access through SAML, OIDC, and LDAP integrations, ensuring compatibility with ITAR, FedRAMP, and GDPR standards.
