Docs

A collaborative, sovereign, and extensible document workspace.

Docs

Docs is an open source document editor designed to offer a European alternative to collaborative tools such as Notion.
Initiated by the French Interministerial Digital Directorate (DINUM) in partnership with ZENDIS, its German equivalent, it is part of the French government’s La Suite Numérique, alongside Grist, offered through our partnership with Grist Labs, and Visio, a collaborative solution that will soon be added to our platform.

On Clever Cloud, Docs can be deployed quickly, on a sovereign infrastructure, without dependence on foreign suppliers.

A tool designed for teamwork

Docs combines the simplicity of a Markdown editor with the features expected of modern collaborative tools.

Key features :

Unified authentication via Keycloak (SSO, OIDC);

Real-time collaborative editing thanks to yjs;

Content organization by workspaces and granular rights;

User file storage via Cellar (S3 compatible);

Multilingual interface.

Docs operates with an architecture consisting of three services:

Composant Langage Fonction
Backend Python/Django API, account management, business logic
Frontend Next.js (Node.js) User interface
y-provider Node.js Collaborative synchronisation

Quick and guided setup

Docs can already be deployed on Clever Cloud using a sample application tailored to our platform. The PaaS architecture enables rapid deployment without the need for complex infrastructure management.

Une solution recommandée par l’État

Docs is supported by DINUM and is part of La Suite Numérique, adopted by many public administrations.

By hosting it on Clever Cloud, you benefit from an infrastructure that is:

  • 100% French and sovereign
  • GDPR, ISO 27001:2022, and HDS compliant
  • Not subject to extraterritorial laws (Cloud Act, FISA)
  • Operated without any non-European subcontracting

Clever Cloud is committed to creating a trusted European cloud by supporting strategic open source projects for the public sector. Docs is a prime example of this.

Deploy Docs on a sound foundation

Whether you are a local authority, government department, or solution provider, Docs on Clever Cloud offers you a secure, interoperable, and maintainable alternative.

Used for internal documentation, project management, co-editing public policies, or interdepartmental communication, Docs adapts to all contexts where data sovereignty is essential.

HDS migration: migrate your healthcare data with no perceptible downtime

An HDS migration consists of transferring an application and its healthcare data from one hosting provider to another while maintaining the required certification and service continuity. When properly planned and executed, the perceived interruption can be reduced to a simple DNS switch. For example, when Madietenligne, a provider of an e-health solution for dietitians, migrated to Clever Cloud, its test and production environments were moved in less than fifteen days, covering 500 GB of data, with no downtime perceived by users.
