HexoraIT is a modern, self-hosted IT documentation platform designed for system administrators, IT departments, managed service providers, and anyone responsible for maintaining technical infrastructure.
The project was created to provide a free, powerful alternative to commercial documentation systems without requiring subscriptions or vendor lock-in. Every organization can host HexoraIT within its own environment, keeping complete ownership of its data, infrastructure, backups, and security.
Built with modern technologies, HexoraIT focuses on performance, simplicity, and a clean technical user experience while offering advanced documentation capabilities for complex IT environments.

Deploy HexoraIT on your own server, NAS, virtual machine, or homelab in just a few minutes using Docker.
Deployment is intentionally straightforward.

- Begin documenting your infrastructure.
The entire setup takes only a few minutes.
Updating HexoraIT is simple.
- Stop the running containers.

Your database should be stored inside a persistent Docker volume, ensuring your data remains intact during updates.
Regular database backups are strongly recommended.
Because HexoraIT is fully self-hosted, protecting your data is your responsibility.
It is highly recommended to perform regular automated backups of your database.
For this purpose, you can use OctoBackup, another free and self-hosted project available on my GitHub and Docker Hub.
OctoBackup provides:
- Scheduled automatic backups
- Support for multiple database engines
- Tunnel support
- Simple configuration
- Docker deployment
- Self-hosted architecture
Together, HexoraIT and OctoBackup provide a complete, free solution for documenting and protecting your IT infrastructure.
