R.I.P.Open-source alternatives to Confluence
10 projects replace Confluence, the team wiki. 9 shipped code in the last 30 days.
Confluence charges per user, and the end of Atlassian's Server licenses moved most customers to its cloud or to Data Center. Many teams complain that the editor feels slow and search gets weak once a space holds years of pages. Others want a wiki that sits next to their code, or on servers they run.
BookStack sorts pages into shelves, books and chapters, which non-technical staff pick up quickly. Outline feels modern, with Markdown shortcuts, fast search and a Slack integration. Docmost copies Confluence's spaces and inline comments most closely. XWiki is the heavyweight, with structured data and fine-grained rights for large organizations.

What you give up by leaving Confluence
The honest part. Free and open usually costs something else.
- Jira links break Live Jira issue macros and links between the two products are lost once you leave.
- Macros do not convert Pages that rely on macros and Marketplace apps will not move over cleanly.
- Import is partial Page trees usually import, but attachments, permissions and history often need manual work.
- Enterprise controls Audit logs, data residency and compliance paperwork become your job when you self-host.
