Digiwall

Self-Hosted

Open-source groupware for collaborative team workspaces

Overview

Digiwall is an open-source groupware platform designed to centralize team collaboration. It includes shared calendars, task boards, file storage with version control, and real-time communication channels. Built for self-hosting, it uses Docker containers for straightforward deployment, accessible to small teams and enterprises alike. Key features like role-based access control, Nextcloud integration, and end-to-end encryption ensure data privacy and flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

? Is Digiwall hard to install?

Digiwall uses Docker for deployment, making setup straightforward. You need a server with Docker and Docker Compose; the official repo provides a docker-compose.yml file to launch the platform quickly. Basic server knowledge helps, but even beginners can follow the step-by-step guide.

? Is Digiwall a good alternative to Microsoft 365 Teams?

Yes—Digiwall offers core groupware features like shared calendars, tasks, and communication channels, but with full data privacy since it's self-hosted. While it lacks some advanced SaaS features (e.g., AI tools), it's ideal for teams wanting to avoid proprietary lock-in and keep data on their own servers.

? Is Digiwall completely free?

Absolutely. Digiwall is open-source software released under the MIT License, so it's free to download, use, modify, and self-host without any subscription fees or hidden costs.
