Alexandrie: host your own offline-ready notes wiki, like a private Notion

Added · Updated

Write, organize, search and share Markdown notes on your own server, from any device and even offline.

For teams or individuals who want to own their notes.

What it does

Alexandrie is a knowledge base you host yourself. Notes live in a hierarchy of teams, workspaces, categories and nested documents, written in an extended Markdown editor that supports LaTeX math, checkboxes, diagrams and saved snippets. It is a PWA (a website you can install like an app), so it works offline on desktop or phone and syncs when you reconnect. Access can be set per page from None to Owner, and every workspace has a Kanban board for tasks.

How to use it

Input → action → output: start it with Docker, open it in your browser and create the owner account. Write notes in Markdown, then press Ctrl + K to jump anywhere or run a full-text search that shows highlighted snippets of matching notes.

Common use cases

  • Write lecture notes with LaTeX formulas and a flowchart, then share them with a classmate through a public link.
  • Set up a team workspace, give each member read or write access, and track the project on its Kanban board next to the docs.
  • Export a whole workspace as a ZIP file for backup, then restore it later or on another server.

Can I use this?

Runs in Docker on your computer

Requirements The Quick Start downloads the .env example and docker-compose file, copies the settings and launches the stack with Docker. The creators say an instance runs in less than a minute. Files can go to S3-compatible storage such as MinIO, Garage, RustFS or AWS. MIT licensed and open source.

Caveat The creators position it as an alternative to Notion, Confluence and Obsidian; moving existing notes from those apps is not documented in the source.

Worth knowing You run and maintain the server and its backups yourself. Speech-to-text relies on voice recognition APIs the source does not name.
