Oriel

Clone of Notion

Free clean-room workspace you run on your own server: block pages, databases whose rows are pages, and real-time editing with your team.

What works the same as Notion

  • Pages made of blocks: headings, lists, to-dos, toggles, callouts, tables and code, with a / menu and Markdown shortcuts.
  • Databases where every row is a page, with table, board, calendar, timeline, gallery and chart views.
  • Edit together in real time, with presence and cursors.
  • Comments, mentions, version history and a trash.
  • Imports Markdown and CSV exports from other tools, and exports pages to Markdown or HTML.

What is missing

  • The interface is in French.
  • Some of its guides are in French only.

How to get started

  1. There's no download yet: you set it up on your own server, and a small one is enough.
  2. On a Debian or Ubuntu server, download the project and run sudo ./deploy/install.sh.
  3. Open your domain: the first account you create becomes the administrator.
