Alexandrie

Alexandrie is a self-hosted, MIT-licensed knowledge base built with Vue, Nuxt, TypeScript, and Go, positioned as an alternative to Notion, Confluence, and Obsidian. It pairs an extended CodeMirror 6 Markdown editor (with LaTeX, custom containers, and inline diagrams) with nested folders, workspaces, tags, full-text search, and integrated Kanban boards. The latest release is v8.9.0 and the project sits at ~1.7K stars on GitHub.

The fastest path is the bundled docker-compose.yml — clone the repo, copy .env.example to .env, and run docker compose up -d. The default stack starts three containers: the Alexandrie app, a PostgreSQL database, and MinIO for media. You can swap MinIO for any S3-compatible object store; the README explicitly lists RustFS, Garage, MinIO, and AWS S3 as supported backends.

Yes. Alexandrie ships as an installable PWA, so once you have loaded it on a desktop or mobile browser you can keep writing, browsing, and searching without a connection. Changes sync back to your self-hosted server when the device is online again. There is no separate native mobile app — the PWA fills that role on iOS and Android.

Alexandrie uses a 5-level access model — None, Read, Write, Admin, Owner — that can be applied per node or workspace, so you can lock down individual documents or whole subtrees. The platform is multi-tenant with Teams, Workspaces, Categories, and nested Documents, and admins can issue temporary invitation codes with custom scopes for onboarding outside your IdP. The release also ships a built-in Kanban per workspace and Speech-to-Text for dictation.
