Outline is an open-source team knowledge base and wiki with a fast, realtime collaborative rich-text editor, markdown support, powerful search, and 20+ integrations including Slack. It can be used as a hosted cloud service or self-hosted via Docker on your own infrastructure.
Use cases
- set up a team wiki for internal documentation
- self-host a knowledge base on my own server
- collaboratively edit documents in realtime with my team
- search across all team docs and get answers from them
- replace Google Docs or Notion with a structured wiki
- search documentation from Slack with slash commands
- share documents publicly with a link
When to choose
- your team needs a fast, structured, hierarchical wiki with realtime collaboration
- you want to self-host your knowledge base for data control
- you rely on Slack and want docs searchable from chat
- you need permissions, groups, SSO, and an open API
When to avoid
- you need offline-first personal note-taking rather than a team wiki
- you want a lightweight static documentation site generator
- you cannot run Node.js/PostgreSQL/Redis infrastructure and don't want the paid cloud plan
