Docroot is a lightweight, self-hosted documentation host. Upload versioned ZIP archives containing an index.html and browse them through a web UI or REST API.

MVP Release — the API, file layout, and configuration keys may change between releases without a compatibility guarantee.

Hosting internal documentation should not require a hosted service or a specific build tool. Docroot is a self-hosted alternative for teams whose docs must stay on-site — with proper authentication, namespace isolation, and role-based access control.

It accepts any ZIP archive containing an index.html, so it works with MkDocs, Sphinx, TypeDoc, JavaDoc, VitePress, Pelican, Eleventy, and any other static generator.
