Docmost

What is it for?

Docmost lets several people write nicely formatted pages together, in real time, organised in spaces: documentation, meeting notes, knowledge base. The editor feels like Notion.

Who is it for?

Teams and clubs who want a self-hosted Notion.

After installing

1. Open the site address and create your workspace and the administrator account.
