HedgeDoc

Previously known as CodiMD, HedgeDoc is ideal for note-taking, collaborative work, and documentation projects.

One of HedgeDoc's standout features is real-time collaboration, which allows multiple users to edit the same document simultaneously.

HedgeDoc fully supports Markdown syntax, making it simple to format text and include images, tables, and code snippets. It also offers a live preview, enabling users to see how their content will appear as they type.

Additionally, HedgeDoc has a presentation mode, which allows users to transform documents into slideshows for creating presentations.

Software

When selecting the HedgeDoc image in the Marketplace, we will install the following software on your server:

• Ubuntu 22.04
• Docker and Docker Compose Plugin (latest versions)
• HedgeDoc (latest version)

Your HedgeDoc instance will run in a Docker container.

Getting Started

To deploy HedgeDoc at Hostman:

1. Start creating a new Hostman server and select Marketplace → HedgeDoc.
2. Select server parameters. The minimum configuration will suffice to launch HedgeDoc. If necessary, you can upgrade the server at any moment.
3. Finish creating your server.

The installation process will take a couple of minutes. When the server is online, copy the public IP address from the Dashboard and paste it into your browser.

You will see the homepage where you can start with exploring the features or immediately log in to your HedgeDoc app—or sign up, if you don’t have an account yet.
