NABHCLOUD: Deploy Docmost in India with a Single Click

Docmost, an open source wiki that rivals Confluence and Notion, installs on NABHCLOUD Apps with one click and runs from our Noida data centre.

Docmost, a collaborative wiki for your team

Docmost is an open source tool for writing documentation together, built as an option against Confluence or Notion. Colleagues edit pages at the same time, group them into spaces and control access for each space separately. When you install it through NABHCLOUD Apps, we set it up along with PostgreSQL for storage and Redis for live editing.

Check our app hosting plans

Docmost needs at least our Pro tier app hosting plan. Current plans and prices are shown on this page. Every plan includes HTTPS, support for your own domain name and a GST-compliant invoice, and your app runs from our Noida facility.

What teams build with Docmost

  • A shared knowledge base and standard operating procedures
  • Documentation for products and APIs
  • Notes from meetings and project-related pages
  • A handbook to onboard new employees

What takes place once you install

Installing brings up Docmost together with PostgreSQL and Redis. Visit the app's address to set up your workspace and admin login, after which you can build spaces and bring your team on board.

  • Your app gets its own address on our platform, secured with HTTPS right away
  • Generated passwords are stored under Login details, where you can look them up again any time
  • It runs on a dedicated app server that stays on continuously, with no need for SSH or Docker
  • View logs, restart the app, and point your own domain to it — all from the NABHCLOUD control panel

Understanding Docmost

Docmost allows multiple people to type into one page simultaneously. Pages belong to spaces, each space has its own membership list, and every page keeps comments, a revision history and an automatic table of contents. It supports diagrams from tools such as draw.io, Excalidraw and Mermaid, and lets you publish single pages as shareable public links. The project is built on NestJS and React, licensed under AGPL, and stores its data in PostgreSQL while Redis powers the live editing.

Configuration needs only a handful of environment variables: APP_URL for the address, APP_SECRET to sign sessions, plus DATABASE_URL and REDIS_URL. By default, uploaded files are kept on local disk, though switching the storage driver lets you point them to S3-compatible storage instead — useful if you want to keep a large attachment library on NABHCLOUD S3. Real-time editing works over websockets, so open a second browser window and confirm your changes show up there instantly to verify it's working.

Being a newer project, Docmost changes often. Certain capabilities, like single sign-on, are limited to its paid tier, so check the latest feature comparison before committing your team to anything. Occasionally use the page menu to save your pages as Markdown or HTML, so your documentation doesn't end up trapped inside a single database.

Getting Docmost running on NABHCLOUD Apps

  1. Run the install and complete setup. Pick Docmost from the app store, open its address and create the workspace plus the admin account.
  2. Set up spaces. Create one space per team or subject area, then assign members and roles for each space rather than opening every space to the whole company.
  3. Start writing and bring people in. Create an initial page, then send colleagues an invite by email link. Open that page in two browser windows to watch live editing happen.
  4. Save a backup copy. From the page menu, export any space as Markdown or HTML and store it with your other backup files.

Common questions about hosting Docmost

Can multiple people work on a page together?

Yes, pages support real-time co-editing, along with comments and a history of changes.

Can I bring in documentation I already have?

Docmost accepts imports from Markdown files, HTML files and Confluence exports.

Can attachments be stored outside local disk?

Yes, Docmost can save files to S3-compatible storage, such as NABHCLOUD S3, rather than the server's local disk.

Does it cost anything to run the software?

The Docmost software is open and free under the AGPL licence. A handful of capabilities, including single sign-on, exist only in a separate paid edition of the project.

What does one-click installation actually do?

Pick an app from the store, choose which app server to deploy it on, and click Install. It receives its own HTTPS address immediately, generated passwords are shown to you once, and the app is live within a couple of minutes.
