That is the only way to open the wiki to a team. Without a domain there is no public entry point at all: the service listens on the VPS loopback only, and you reach it through an SSH tunnel — `ssh -L 3000:127.0.0.1:3000 root@\u003Cvps-ip>` then `http:\u002F\u002Flocalhost:3000`.

The Docmost application itself is lightweight (Node.js); PostgreSQL is the main memory consumer. For teams of 10–20 with active concurrent editing, 4 GB is recommended.",{"q":67,"a":68},"Is real-time collaboration actually built in?","Yes. Docmost uses operational transformation so multiple editors can type on the same page simultaneously — no document locking, no manual merging. Changes appear live for all connected users.",{"q":70,"a":71},"Can I embed diagrams and code blocks?","Yes. Docmost has native blocks for Mermaid (flowcharts, sequence diagrams), Draw.io (complex diagrams) and Excalidraw (whiteboard sketches), plus syntax-highlighted code blocks. No extra plugins required.",{"q":73,"a":74},"How does Docmost compare to Wiki.js?","Both are open-source self-hosted wikis. Docmost focuses on real-time collaborative editing (closer to Notion) with a modern block editor. Wiki.js offers more output formats and a Git storage backend.
