Self-hosted knowledge management platform unifying internal and external documentation
Modern, enterprise-grade knowledge base built with Go and EmberJS. Single binary deployment supporting PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL Server with multi-language support and flexible authentication.

Documize Community is a self-hosted knowledge management platform designed to consolidate customer-facing and internal documentation in one unified system. Built for both technical and non-technical users, it replaces traditional wiki and documentation tools with a streamlined, modern interface.
Compiled to a single executable binary for Linux, Windows, macOS, and Raspberry Pi, Documize simplifies deployment across AMD and ARM architectures. The Go and EmberJS stack requires only a database backend—PostgreSQL, MySQL variants (including Percona and MariaDB), or Microsoft SQL Server with full-text search enabled.
Content is organized through spaces, labels, and categories. Authentication extends beyond email/password to include LDAP, Active Directory, Keycloak, and CAS, with dual-authentication options available. The platform ships with nine language localizations and supports modern browsers.
The base Community edition is AGPL v3 licensed. Community+ adds approval workflows, version control, lifecycle management, PDF export, analytics, audit logs, and dedicated support—free for up to five users, then $900 annually for 100 users.
When teams consider Documize Community, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
