Introduce

MrDoc is a self-hostable online document and knowledge base system. It covers the full lifecycle of knowledge creation, document accumulation, knowledge organization, AI applications, knowledge publishing and continuous enrichment, helping teams and individuals build a complete knowledge management loop.

Knowledge Creation → Document Accumulation → Knowledge Organization → AI Applications → Knowledge Publishing → Continuous Enrichment

You can think of MrDoc as "Confluence without the per-seat billing, running from a single docker compose command" — one container, one mounted data directory, unlimited accounts on a one-time professional license.
