Docmost

Docmost is a self-hosted wiki and knowledge management platform designed for enterprise teams. It takes the form of an on-premises documentation system intended to replace tools like Confluence and Notion. The platform provides secure company knowledge management with compliance features such as ITAR, FedRAMP, and GDPR support.

• Real-time collaboration with live cursors and instant sync
• Self-hosted AI suite with semantic search, chat, assistants, and document Q&A
• Model Context Protocol support to expose your knowledge base as an MCP server
• Role-based access control, groups, and granular page-level permissions
• Built-in diagramming tools including Draw.io, Excalidraw, and Mermaid
• Migration support for importing data from Confluence, Notion, HTML, and Markdown
• Enterprise authentication options with SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, and LDAP integrations

Pros

• Provides complete data control through self-hosted, on-premises or air-gapped deployment
• Includes robust migration tools for moving existing documentation from Confluence and Notion
• Offers flexible AI integration options supporting Ollama, vLLM, OpenAI, Gemini, Azure OpenAI, and other providers
• Supports regulatory compliance needs including GDPR data sovereignty, ITAR, and FedRAMP readiness

Cons

• Requires managing your own on-premises infrastructure and deployment
• Advanced security and management features like SCIM and audit logs are restricted to the Enterprise tier
• Email support is not included on the free Community tier

Docmost fits enterprise teams, IT departments, and organizations with strict data governance or regulatory requirements that mandate on-premises or air-gapped hosting. It is a poor fit for casual users or small teams looking for a zero-configuration cloud-hosted wiki without self-hosting capabilities.

Docmost offers a Community edition that is free to install. The Business plan is priced at $3.5 per seat per month billed annually with a minimum of 10 seats, or $4 otherwise. The Enterprise plan has custom pricing available by contacting sales.

Unlike cloud-first wiki tools, Docmost focuses entirely on self-hosted, on-premises deployment to ensure data sovereignty and compliance. It pairs this with a built-in AI suite and Model Context Protocol support, allowing external AI clients to query your internal knowledge base directly.
