:q!

Wait. Oh shit.

Not sure why SAML is paywalled but there’s a bunch of options for SSO at the free tier. Google, Microsoft, Slack, Gitlab, OIDC. I deployed a Keycloak instance to provide auth.

I’m pretty sure self-hosting Confluence isn’t possible anymore, or is being sunsetted as a product. I use Confluence at work and compared to Outline it’s noticeably slower in navigation and search. Agree 100% at the pain of configuring it though, it took me two attempts, months apart to get it running. The nice thing, from a self-hosting perspective, is once you’ve built it you also have object-storage, local auth and a database in your network for other self-hosted services that support those things, or for things you build yourself!

Can confirm it has a per-page history, presented as a timeline. Not sure what additional capabilities the audit trail feature provides.

Since no one else has mentioned it, I’ll give a shout out to documentation engine Outline. Definitely on the trickier side to set up (requires three auxiliary services to be configured) but creates great looking docs that share easily, allows for collaboration and is super fast.
