# Project pack: Docmost @ b007d8c

Facts about **Docmost** for an AI following the [BespokeAI handover guide](https://handoff.bespokeai.software/guide/v4.md). Pinned to one version; never changes after publication.

> Docmost is an open-source collaborative wiki, a Notion or Confluence alternative you host yourself. People edit pages together in real time, organise them into spaces, comment, share pages publicly, and embed diagrams. It suits a family handbook, a club or a small business.

## Setup path (checked 2026-11-03)
- **Needs Docker.** Tell the person before any setup work; no light non-Docker route is documented upstream. Docker Desktop on Windows may need a computer restart and an admin-only Windows feature (virtualisation); say so and let the person decide.
- Verdict source: https://docmost.com/docs/installation
- You may be unable to download source archives or run commands in this session. The person downloads and runs things; if you cannot fetch something, give any changed file in full in chat with its path.

## Version and source
- Repository: https://github.com/docmost/docmost
- Pinned commit: `b007d8cb214e95fddda861eb15d24e51eb0b90b3`. Use exactly this version.
- Zip the person can download in a browser: https://github.com/docmost/docmost/archive/b007d8cb214e95fddda861eb15d24e51eb0b90b3.zip
- Fresh checkout (only if you have a shell and git): use the commands below in an empty folder. If this exact source is already checked out, keep your branch and use the development command; do not clone again or reset local changes.
- Official docs: https://docmost.com/docs
- Licence: **AGPL-3.0-only**. Free to use and change. If other people use your changed version, including over a network (for example a website you host for them), you must offer them your source code under the same licence. Using it privately for yourself or your household has no extra obligations. A packages/ee folder is under a separate commercial licence and should not be reused.

## Commands from the pinned source
- Developer commands (they may use Docker):

  ```sh
  git clone https://github.com/docmost/docmost bespoke-docmost
  cd bespoke-docmost
  git checkout --detach b007d8cb214e95fddda861eb15d24e51eb0b90b3
  # Prepare development requirements and local configuration first.
  corepack enable
  pnpm install
  cp .env.example .env
  pnpm dev
  ```

- Separate trial of the current upstream release (not your changes; sample data and a separate data directory only):

  ```sh
  curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docmost/docmost/main/docker-compose.yml
  # edit APP_SECRET and the database password in the file first
  docker compose up -d
  # then open http://localhost:3000
  ```
- Tools these commands use: Docker, or Node 22 with pnpm plus Postgres and Redis for development
- Develop: `pnpm dev`
- Build: `pnpm build`
- Stack: typescript (NestJS, React, Mantine, Tiptap, Nx, pnpm). Difficulty for a non-developer with an AI: **advanced**. A TypeScript monorepo with a NestJS server, a React client and a collaboration server, backed by Postgres and Redis. Branding and workspace settings need no code; new features touch client and server.
Personal data: **yes**. Stored in: Postgres database plus an attachments folder (a Docker volume). Secrets are entered by the person, never in chat.
