LogicalDOC
LogicalDOC is a document management system that gives a company one controlled home for its files instead of letting contracts, invoices, and procedures scatter across drives and inboxes. Staff store any kind of document in a repository organized on multiple levels, then find it again through advanced search that reaches inside document content, not just filenames. Colleagues collaborate on the same documents and projects while version control keeps the history straight, so nobody works from last quarter's draft by accident. Administrators define roles for different users, set access control and user quotas, and choose the security level for each area, with detailed activity logs showing who opened, changed, or shared what. Automations handle the routine flow of documents through the business, and the web services API lets an ERP or other systems integrate document management into existing processes. Information can be collected from any digital source, knowledge gets reused instead of recreated, and mobile apps for phones and tablets keep the repository reachable away from the desk. The official Docker image and Tomcat bundles make the Community Edition straightforward to run 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. LGPL-3.0 licensed.
SimpleDMS
Small businesses file every invoice, contract, and letter by what it is instead of by folder with SimpleDMS, a document management system built around types, tags, and searchable metadata. Upload a document to the inbox, pick its type, and the sidebar offers exactly the tags and fields that type needs, so an incoming invoice asks for the issuing company and receipt date instead of a blank properties page. Name-giving attributes label each file automatically from its own metadata, and the Browse view finds it again by company, date, or approver in seconds. Spaces act as workspaces with their own document types, tags, and permissions, so the team shares project files in one space, exchanges papers with an accountant or customers in another, and keeps private records apart. Tag groups such as companies and employees stay consistent across thousands of documents, date and text fields capture the facts you search by later, and values can be corrected at any time when a document was filed in haste. Dark mode is built in, the interface runs comfortably on a tablet at the scanner, and no analytics or tracking watch how your office works.

Teedy
Every scan and PDF you drop into Teedy becomes searchable text in a self-hosted document archive, filed by nested tags instead of folders. OCR reads images in more than twenty languages, and the search box offers suggestions and highlights matches, even inside ODT, DOCX, and PPTX files. Video files are supported as well. Each record carries Dublin Core fields plus custom metadata of your own design, with comments and earlier file versions attached. When a document needs a second pair of eyes, workflow steps with assigned reviewers move it along in order until someone signs off. Pull in EML emails, let the server poll an inbox, or point the bulk importer at a whole folder, and incoming paperwork needs no manual filing. Share a single document through a public link, or keep it behind user and group permissions with a storage quota for each person. LDAP and two-factor authentication guard sign-in, 256-bit AES encryption protects stored files, and an audit log records who changed what. Webhooks alert other services, a documented REST API lets scripts take part, and an Android client carries the archive on a phone. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-2.0 licensed.
Mayan EDMS
Mayan EDMS stores, classifies, and retrieves millions of documents with automatic OCR, workflow automation, and audit-ready access controls that organizations have relied on for over a decade. Tesseract integration extracts searchable text from scanned PDFs and images in over 100 languages, transforming paper archives into instantly queryable digital collections without manual data entry. The workflow engine routes documents through approval chains using configurable state machines that trigger notifications, enforce retention policies, and maintain complete audit trails for regulatory compliance. Version tracking preserves every revision with full diff capabilities, while GnuPG digital signatures provide cryptographic proof of authenticity and tamper detection for sensitive records. Role-based permissions combined with object-level ACLs and LDAP integration ensure documents remain visible only to authorized users, down to individual file granularity. Full-text search powered by Whoosh or ElasticSearch handles advanced queries across massive document stores with faceted filtering and relevance ranking. The Django REST Framework API enables programmatic upload, metadata extraction, and workflow triggering from external systems. Beyond simple folder hierarchies, metadata schemas, document types, tags, and cabinet structures provide multi-dimensional classification tailored to how your organization actually works. Background processing through Celery handles OCR, conversion, and preview generation asynchronously, keeping the web interface responsive under heavy ingest loads.
