Hedgedoc
HedgeDoc is a self-hosted documentation platform and real-time collaborative Markdown editor. It serves as a digital workspace for creating shared technical notes and managing knowledge through a privately hosted system.
The platform enables multiple users to write and format Markdown documents simultaneously in a shared live environment. It integrates external identity providers such as LDAP, SAML, and social platforms via OAuth2 to manage user access and authentication.
The system includes capabilities for content publishing, including exporting notes to GitHub Gists and generating automated tables of contents. It also supports interactive task lists, customizable image dimensions, and the ability to store media in either local disks or remote cloud object storage. Administrative tasks can be performed via a command line interface, and system security is supported by request rate limiting and instance data backups.
