HumHub: Open-source enterprise social network, knowledge
HumHub is a self-hosted wiki and social media tool. Open-source enterprise social network, knowledge database, intranet, and communication platform.
Why self-host HumHub
Running HumHub yourself means you control the data, the uptime policy, and the upgrade schedule. That is a different relationship with software than subscribing to a hosted service.
What it does
HumHub falls into the Wiki, Social Media category of self-hosted software. It is designed to be deployed on your own infrastructure, whether that is a home server, a VPS, or a local machine running Docker.
Community traction
The project has 6k stars on GitHub, which is a reasonable proxy for how widely it is used. Active repositories tend to ship bug fixes faster and have better documentation than projects that stall after the initial release.
Deployment
Like most modern self-hosted apps, HumHub supports Docker. A single compose file handles the deployment in most cases.
Maturity
The current release is 1.16.1. The project has moved past early development and tends to ship stable, documented releases.
License
It is licensed under AGPL-3.0, making it freely available for personal and commercial use.
Links
For anyone already running a home server, HumHub is a natural addition. It handles wiki and social media without requiring a paid subscription or an account with a third party.
