Cloudron Forum

Hi @james, founder of Docmost here.

It would be awesome if you consider basing your build on the official Docmost image.

Since Docmost is self-hosted, we don't restrict where users can run the software.
We made the enterprise module separation of concern as clean as possible. It is bundled in our official build process and only gets called when an enterprise license is activated. It don't interfere with the core app.

Having this supported would make life easier for users who wish to use Cloudron and also benefit from our enterprise features such as SSO, AI, page verification workflows and more.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do on my end to facilitate. Happy to reach out any other ways you suggest.
Thank you.

@james Thanks for being accommodating. I appreciate it.

I understand your concerns about the precedent set by the companies mentioned.

As you may know, the core of Docmost is OSS. However, we do have proprietary modules under the Docmost enterprise license. The enterprise modules contain our offline license validation system and cannot be made public for obvious reasons.

To reduce confusion and complexity in maintaining multiple Docker builds, we decided to ship both editions in a single image. Customers can upgrade or downgrade editions at any time, with no lock-in.

If a self-hosted enterprise customer chooses to host with Cloudron, they’re still a Docmost customer, and we have a contractual obligation to keep the software accessible to them. I don't see a world where it makes sense to deny them this right.

The goal is to make things much easier for both OSS and enterprise users.
I hope this helps.

Awesome. Thanks @james.

@teiluj Glad I could help.
