# La Suite Docs: Collaborative Text Editing
**Docs, where your notes can become knowledge through live collaboration.**
Docs is an open-source collaborative editor that helps teams write, organize, and share knowledge together - in real time.
![Live collaboration demo](/docs/assets/docs_live_collaboration_light.gif)
## What is Docs?
Docs is an open-source alternative to tools like Notion or Google Docs, focused on:
- Real-time collaboration
- Clean, structured documents
- Knowledge organization
- Data ownership & self-hosting
***Built for public organizations, companies, and open communities.***
## Why use Docs?
### Writing
- Rich-text & Markdown editing
- Slash commands & block system
- Beautiful formatting
- Offline editing
- Optional AI writing helpers (rewrite, summarize, translate, fix typos)
### Collaboration
- Live cursors & presence
- Comments & sharing
- Granular access control
### Knowledge management
- Subpages & hierarchy
- Searchable content
### Export/Import & interoperability
- Import to `.docx` and `.md`
- Export to `.docx`, `.odt`, `.pdf`
## Try Docs
Experience Docs instantly - no installation required.

- 🌍 [Browse public instances][instances]
[demo]: https://docs.la-suite.eu/docs/9137bbb5-3e8a-4ff7-8a36-fcc4e8bd57f4/
[instances]: /docs/instances.md
## Self-hosting
Docs supports Kubernetes, Docker Compose, and community-provided methods such as Nix and YunoHost.
Get started with self-hosting: [Installation guide](/docs/installation/README.md)
> [!WARNING]
> Some advanced features (for example: `Export as PDF`) rely on XL packages from Blocknote.
> These packages are licensed under GPL and are **not MIT-compatible**
>
> You can run Docs **without these packages** by building with:
>
> ```bash
> PUBLISH_AS_MIT=true
> ```
>
> This builds an image of Docs without non-MIT features.
>
> More details can be found in [environment variables](/docs/env.md)
## Local Development (for contributors)
Run Docs locally for development and testing.
> [!WARNING]
> This setup is intended **for development and testing only**.
> It uses Minio as an S3-compatible storage backend, but any S3-compatible service can be used.
### Prerequisites
- Docker
- Docker Compose
- GNU Make
Verify installation:
```bash
docker -v
docker compose version
```
> If you encounter permission errors, you may need to use `sudo`, or add your user to the `docker` group.
### Bootstrap the project
The easiest way to start is using GNU Make:
```bash
make bootstrap FLUSH_ARGS='--no-input'
```
This builds the `app-dev` and `frontend-dev` containers, installs dependencies, runs database migrations, and compiles translations.
It is recommended to run this command after pulling new code.
Start services:
```bash
make run
```
Open <https://localhost:3000>
Default credentials (development only):
```md
username: impress
password: impress
```
### Frontend development mode
For frontend work, running outside Docker is often more convenient:
```bash
make frontend-development-install
make run-frontend-development
```
### Backend only
Starting all services except the frontend container:
```bash
make run-backend
```
### Tests & Linting
```bash
make frontend-test
make frontend-lint
```
### Demo content
Create a basic demo site:
```bash
make demo
```
### More Make targets
To check all available Make rules:
```bash
make help
```
### Django admin
Create a superuser:
```bash
make superuser
```
Admin UI: <http://localhost:8071/admin>
