Document Management System

Is there any Document Management System in Ubuntu?

I tried Alfresco, RavenDB, Owl, Document Manager.

Alfresco, RavenDB are heavy. More than my requirements. Owl having source issues.
Document Manager im trying to install.

  • Should keep data on the same machine as I am looking for more of internal purpose.
  • Should allow to upload Zip files as well. If it extracts Zip it will be a great +
  • Should allow to send email to preconfigured email addresses
  • Should allow to upload data of size around 100MB at one go
  • Should maintain history of documents also deleted documents
  • Should allow role based document access.
  • Should be Free :)
  • It should not do any spoofing on data. Documents are confidential.

Please share your knowledge. Thanks.


LogicalDOC offers both Community(free) and Commercial editions. We used it for some customers and in comparison with Alfresco we can state that LogicalDOC is more easy and lightweight, moreover the support service on the Commercial edition is very fast.

It has a very well documented WebService we used to integrate LogicalDOC with ERP and CRM.
