HedgeDoc Managed Application Services and Hosting

HedgeDoc

The web-based pad HedgeDoc focuses on real-time collaboration for editing documents within groups or teams. Using HedgeDoc, registered users can create notes. The easy to learn MarkDown syntax is used.

HedgeDoc (formerly CodiMD) finds various applications in the company (e.g. protocols, idea collection, drafting of documentation etc.). It can also be integrated into other tools. For example, there is a connection to the ticket system Redmine. We enable the application on an own server or offer the service in our Cloud Service.

Our HedgeDoc Managed Application Services

For the best possible, safe and error-free operation, we proactively take over the regular care and maintenance of your HedgeDoc application. Update management, security updates, backups, monitoring, technical support.

You decide whether this happens on your own server (InHouse) or on our server (Cloud).

Advantages

  • Savings of internal resources and relief of the own IT department
  • Reduction of administrative burden and administrative barriers
  • Fixed, calculable monthly costs
  • Always up-to-date, secure, high-performance application
  • 24/7 monitoring (availability and performance)
  • Optimal integration with other applications (e.g. Redmine)

HedgeDoc (InHouse Server)

You want to run HedgeDoc on your own server at your company or at a hoster of your choice? Then our InHouse-Operation Package is the right choice for you.
Advantages InHouse Hosting

Advantages Managed Hosting InHouse

  • Increased data security: data is stored in your own infrastructure
  • Stepless control over hardware limits
  • No limitation (e.g. number of accesses, data volumes, users etc.)
  • Monthly budget is within a manageable range
  • Saving internal resources. Relief of the own IT department

A regularly maintained server usually runs more stable and secure. However, in many companies, the time to carry out these important maintenance tasks regularly and, above all, in a prompt way usually fails. We take over this service for you.


It's very simple

You allocate us a Linux server instance:

  • physical server or virtual instance
  • this is located either in your company or in an external data center of your choice

With our operating package we ensure that:

  • HedgeDoc runs stable and performant on your own server
  • and the costs are within the range that can be planned.

We take over for you

  • Professional installation and setup, as well as operational provision of the HedgeDoc Application on the server
  • Implementation and maintenance of the update management for the underlying Linux operating system, HedgeDoc instance
  • Automatic, real-time security updates of the operating system and HedgeDoc during operation.
  • Backup creation, Operation and fault clearance
  • Provision of management access (administrator authorization for HedgeDoc)

Optional

  • Support and individual services (remote)

Technical support regarding the care of the server environment (in case of malfunctions and failures) are usually included in the monthly package price. Not included are development services, consulting, user support or other (configuration) services that go beyond the technical support of the server. As well as post installation / activation of additional functionality, AddOns, Plugins, Libraries etc. Extra costs are charged for these services. A claim to support services in this context does not exist.
The operation of additional software that requires root permission for installation or operation is fundamentally not possible.

HedgeDoc (Cloud Server)

Cloud solution

A cloud solution is an option for you if the server does not have to be located at your company. Benefit directly from our reliable and powerful cloud services.

Depending on your needs and requirements, we have different packages on offer.

³) We optionally offer a separate Redmine test environment, set up and maintained in parallel to the production environment (see above). This is ideally suited for tasks such as data modeling, performance testing, and plugin testing. A one-time fee applies for setup and initial system preparation. Monthly costs cover the maintenance of Redmine and installed plugins (as with the production environment), as well as the maintenance and adjustment of data synchronization. The conditions listed below also apply to the test environment.
*) Additional plugins are possible under some circumstances. Learn more in our FAQ.

FAQ
+
We take over the hosting of open source applications that are operated on your server in your infrastructure. Provision of the server (Linux) is done by the customer. Here there are no restrictions in terms of performance, hardware, resources, location.
+
The open source applications are provided by us (our server). Root access not possible. Our servers are located at a leading Data Center from Germany whose operator is certified according to DIN ISO/IEC 27001. The data center park is equipped with state-of-the-art security technology (24/7 monitoring, access controls), has a modern early fire detection system, redundant UV systems and is fully air-conditioned. The customer receives an administrator account for further administration of its application and users. Customer is responsible for the activities of all its End Users and the way End Users use data, even if those End Users are not from the Customer's organization or domain.
+
Our cloud servers, located in Germany and subject to German data protection laws, ensure the secure transmission and access to your data. We use SSL/TLS encryption (HTTPS) for web browser access and SSH for command-line access. The access URLs (Redmine, Nextcloud, Matomo, Rocket.Chat, HedgeDoc) utilize Let's Encrypt certificates.
Our company is GDPR compliant. To protect your data, we perform regular security updates and automated backups.
+
The available disk space also includes the memory required for the application (incl. databases, libraries, plugins, addons etc.) itself. The remaining hard disk space is available for the data.
+
We are providing the latest stable Redmine version. The standard functions are: Project management, Issue tracking (tasks), Spent time (on issues), Document management, Wiki, News, Discussion forum, Rights and roles management, Issue workflows, Calendar, Gantt-Diagram, Activity log, E-Mail notifications, API, Custom fields, Issue import via CSV.
Plugins: In addition we are also using selected community plugins for a more productive use (e.g. additionals, additional_tags).
Updates: Redmine minor releases and plugins are updated regularly and promptly after automated and/or manual checks. Major releases are deployed following manual compatibility and internal testing. System-level (Linux) security updates are checked and applied every four hours.
+
Q: How often? Backups are saved encrypted. Once a day all data (files/uploads from Redmine and database). A snapshot of the database is also taken every 4 hours.
Q: Which versions are kept? Completely, we use BorgBackup for this. It is always necessary to restore a complete backup. It is not possible to restore a single issue, a single wiki page or a single issue file, nor is it possible due to the Redmine architecture.
Q: For how long? The last two days / one of the last week / one of last month.
Q: How to restore backups? It's part of our job to restore it for your, if you need a backup to be restored.
+
This are so called Plugins for Redmine provided by AlphaNodes. In case you need additional functionality we provide you this plugin (or all) for free usage during the period of hosting with us. In accordance with our terms and terms of usage.
+
Our optimized Redmine system uses selected plugins for secure and productive use. Additional plugins (community or third-party) require our prior review for compatibility, regular maintenance (bug fixes, updates), and potential problems. Integration is only possible after a positive review.
The costs for inclusion in our monthly application support (incl. testing, update installation and compatibility check) vary depending on the plugin. We will be happy to inform you of the exact costs in the individual offer.
Third party plugins: Precondition is a valid support license of the customer (for commercial plugins) and compatibility with the existing system (Redmine, Redmine plugins). We reserve the right to reject a plugin request if security, compatibility or updates (e.g. due to an expired support license) are impaired as a result.
Additional costs: The use of plugins that are not provided and maintained by us may incur one-off costs for integration or uninstallation as well as additional monthly costs.
+
When the hosting contract is terminated, the plugin usage right for provided, commercial AlphaNodes Redmine plugins automatically expires. In this case, an annual support license with fees must be used if the plugin is to be used independently of the hosting.
After the termination of a booked Managed Application Hosting Cloud package, access to the application will be blocked at the end of the term and the data will be deleted immediately and irrevocably. The customer is therefore expressly required to save or export their data independently in good time before the end or to arrange for the data to be migrated (e.g. backup) to another system (see our general Terms).
+
Many of our customers either operated Redmine themselves or planned to operate it themselves. The most important reasons for switching to our holistic support were:
Cost savings: Internal installation and maintenance require specialized IT staff, server hardware, software licenses, and extensive maintenance, including the provision of security updates. External providers like us amortize these costs across many clients and offer more cost-effective, scalable solutions. Regular updates are professionally managed, freeing up internal resources and minimizing the risk of outdated software and associated security vulnerabilities.
Focus on Core Business: Internal IT can concentrate on the company's core competencies instead of spending valuable time managing and maintaining web applications. We as external hosting provider assume full responsibility for availability, security, and regular updates, relieving internal IT of administrative tasks and allowing them to focus on more strategically important projects. This also prevents crucial security updates for Redmine or other applications from being neglected. And in case of questions or problems we are your competent contact for technical support or user support requests.

We have services that suits your needs and move your business forward.
