Docmost

Overview

Docmost is a collaborative wiki and documentation platform, similar to Notion or Outline. It supports real-time editing, page hierarchies, and rich content. This stack includes PostgreSQL for data storage and Redis for session management and caching.

Project Details

Project Repository: https://docmost.com/
Container Image: docmost/docmost
Reverse Proxy Port: 3000 (internally), mapped to 8000 by default

Getting Started

Open http://localhost:8000 in your browser:

Create your admin account on first visit
Start creating pages and organizing your workspace
Optionally configure SMTP in the compose environment for email invites

Environment Variable Notes

Variable	Description
`DOCMOST_IMAGE`	Docmost container image (default: `docmost/docmost:latest`)
`POSTGRES_IMAGE`	PostgreSQL image (default: `postgres:16-alpine`)
`REDIS_IMAGE`	Redis image (default: `redis:7-alpine`)
`DOCMOST_RESTART`	Restart policy for all services (default: `unless-stopped`)
`DOCMOST_PORT`	Published port for the web UI (default: `8000`)
`VOL_PATH`	Base path for persistent data volumes (default: `/data`)
`APP_URL`	Public-facing URL of your Docmost instance
`APP_SECRET`	Secret key used for encryption and sessions — generate a long random string
`DB_PASSWORD`	Password for the PostgreSQL database user

Volume Notes

Volume	Purpose
`${VOL_PATH:-/data}/docmost/storage`	Docmost uploads and data storage
`${VOL_PATH:-/data}/docmost/db`	PostgreSQL database files
`${VOL_PATH:-/data}/docmost/redis`	Redis persistence data

Network Notes

proxy — external network for reverse proxy access to the Docmost web UI
docmost_internal — internal bridge network for communication between Docmost, PostgreSQL, and Redis

Create the proxy network once with:

docker network create proxy

Docker Run

This is a multi-service stack — use docker compose instead of individual docker run commands.

Dockhand Stack, Deploy from Git

Cookbooks Repository
stackname: docmost_dev
Compose file path: docmost_dev/compose.yaml
Additional env file (optional): docmost_dev/sample.env

Load docmost_dev/sample.env into the Environment variables in Dockhand, then create the Stack.
