Suite Docs

An open-source alternative to Notion and Google Docs developed jointly by France's DINUM and Germany's ZenDiS that prioritizes data sovereignty, real-time collaboration, and structured knowledge management. The Yjs-powered CRDT engine provides live cursors, presence indicators, and inline comments enabling teams to edit simultaneously without conflicts, while BlockNote.js renders a clean block-based editing experience with rich text formatting, Markdown shortcuts, and drag-and-drop content organization. Hierarchical sub-documents create wiki-style knowledge bases where documentation nests naturally into navigable structures, and a dedicated slide mode transforms any document into a presentation without separate tooling. The document API separates content from metadata with distinct endpoints for formatted content, raw content streams, and document properties. Optional AI integration connects to configurable language models for writing assistance, summarization, and content generation directly within the editor. Access control supports granular permissions per document with team sharing, public links, and invitation flows. DOCX import brings existing documents into the platform while maintaining formatting fidelity. The Django backend serves a REST API with PostgreSQL storage, Redis caching, and S3-compatible media handling. Deploy via Docker Compose, Kubernetes with the official Helm chart, Nix, or YunoHost on your own infrastructure. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
