Need free wiki or knowledge-base software that you can self-host? Community is our totally free alternative to Confluence.

I tested Documize Community (at the time I think that was all Documize did) several years ago for a project to replace Confluence at our company. I was really impressed. The labels, spaces, and categories model for managing data is a powerful way to make knowledge management more straightforward, but it was almost alone in the market in having the power to use that model to manage access to data for users across an organization. We had migrated cloud solutions at least three times because the access controls were always so limited and Documize access controls did exactly what we'd been trying to do.

This looks nice, thanks for the screenshots and I hope it is supported.When I look at what this is meant to do (I think it is now called Zerabase):
Zerabase is the all-in-one product delivery and insight discovery platform that provides product teams with a place to think, share and execute.
I just think, Odoo has this all integrated already, in addition to other enterprise related functions.
Odoo has document and feedback and communications modules. It solves so many tasks and integrates everything so you are not wasting time having different software try and interact.

Not too sure about the naming here but here is my take:- Documize Zerabase seems to be the commercial (closed source ?) option.
- Documize Community seems to be the self hosted/open source option.
Documize Zerabase aims indeed to be "is the all-in-one product delivery and insight discovery platform that provides product teams with a place to think, share and execute."
Documize Community aims instead to be "the enterprise-ready wiki and knowledge-base software. Simple, elegant, usable by both technical and non-technical people alike."
Personally, I am far more attracted by Documize Community at this stage than the Zerabase option which aims to encompass more than what would be useful for my use cases.
Hence, when I look at this, I do not think that comparing Documize Community to Zerabase/Odoo is entirely relevant, since not the same product.
But I am well aware that this is a personal view, that I might be wrong or that others Cloudronites (??) (Cloudronians ??) here might have a different take on this.All I know: Documize Community (on paper at least) scratch the exact itch that I have in multiple use cases / scenarii, that other knowledge base / wiki products do not, or not entirely.
I have, as a plan, to try to give this a go outside of Cloudron for now, to see if indeed this delivers on what it advertises, but at last, I have not reach that stage in my to-do list.
Maybe others have and can comment?All I know for sure, is that the convenience of having this packaged on Cloudron would be undeniable - for all that Cloudron brings and more...

Gave it a try and packaged it. Was actually quite easy as its a ready to run go app. Seems like LDAP and mail needs to be set up from within the application. Otherwise it seems to be running fine.
If somebodys interested code is here:
