Docmost as a Service: Enterprise Wiki Without the Ops Headache
Modern open-source wiki and documentation platform. Real-time collaboration, spaces, permissions, AI features. We handle backups, security, monitoring, scaling. You focus on your work.
A Better Confluence for Modern Teams
Docmost is a lightweight, open-source collaborative wiki launched in June 2024. Built for teams that got abandoned when Atlassian discontinued Confluence Server in February 2024. It handles everything your team documents: knowledge bases, technical specs, onboarding guides, decision records, runbooks.
Unlike Notion or Confluence Cloud, Docmost is self-hosted by default: you own your data, no vendor lock-in, no surprise price hikes. The Community Edition is completely free. The Business tier adds enterprise features: SSO, LDAP, AI, real-time collaboration, granular permissions.
Why Teams Choose Docmost
- Real-time collaboration: Multiple team members edit simultaneously without conflicts or overwriting
- Spaces & hierarchies: Organize by team, project, or department with unlimited nested pages
- Rich content: Tables, Kanban, databases, diagrams (Draw.io, Excalidraw, Mermaid), code blocks, LaTeX
- Granular permissions: Control access at the page level, not team-wide
- AI features (Business+): AI search, summarization, translation, MCP support for Claude and Cursor
- Enterprise auth (Business+): SAML, OIDC, LDAP, MFA, SCIM provisioning
- Import tools: Migrate from Confluence, Notion, or Markdown
21.8K developers on GitHub trust it. 1.6K have forked it. 1,142 recent commits prove active development.
Why Managed Hosting Wins vs Self-Hosting
Docmost Community is free to self-host. But "free" is misleading: someone has to run the server.
The Real Cost of DIY
Infrastructure: A basic VPS runs €5-20/month. Cheap on paper, expensive in practice because it's not a complete solution.
Backups: You're responsible. Daily snapshots, 7-day rotation, encryption, offsite storage. One missed backup is a business disaster.
SSL certificates: Must renew every 90 days. Automating this is easy but requires knowledge.
Security patches: Docmost updates frequently. OS updates, library updates, dependency fixes. Miss one and you're exposed to CVEs.
Monitoring: Is it running? Is it slow? Are errors happening? You need monitoring tools and someone on call.
Operational overhead: Time from your ops person or DevOps engineer. At US labor rates, one engineer monitoring part-time is $2,000-3,000/month.
So a "free" self-hosted Docmost actually costs €500-1,500/month in hidden labor and infrastructure.
Managed Hosting Does This for You
With managed Docmost from Opsily: fixed monthly price covers all of this. Backups automated. Patches applied. SSL renewed automatically. Monitoring and alerts 24/7. Your team never has to think about it.
For teams with fewer than 5 engineers, managed hosting is cheaper than DIY. For larger teams, it frees engineers to ship product instead of running servers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Docmost managed hosting.
Docmost Community Edition costs $0 forever. If you need SSO, SAML, LDAP, or AI features, Docmost Business is $6/seat/month (min 10 seats/year = $720/year). On Opsily's managed hosting, you pay the server plan cost plus the Docmost license (if Business). Compare this to Confluence Cloud Standard at $680/year (10 users) or Data Center at $27K/year (500 users). At 50 users, Docmost Business costs ~$3,600/year. Confluence would cost ~$20K/year on Cloud Premium tier alone.
