Overview

What is Scoold?

Scoold is an open-source Q&A platform inspired by Stack Overflow, designed for teams and communities. It replicates the mechanics that made the format successful: questions, answers, votes, accepted answers, reputation, badges, and tags, all within a familiar and polished interface.

Scoold is organized into spaces that compartmentalize content by team, project, or audience : you can thus maintain a private internal knowledge base and a public customer space on the same instance. Full-text search, the Markdown editor with syntax highlighting, and revision history make it an excellent knowledge base tool.

Regarding integration, Scoold supports SSO, LDAP, and OAuth (Google, Microsoft, GitHub…), fine-grained role and moderation management, as well as a REST API. Built on the Para framework, it deploys easily in Docker and can connect to Elasticsearch for large-scale search.

Host Scoold at DINAO

No managed container for Scoold: this application is installed on a VPS hosted in France (1 vCPU / 1 Go / 5 Go minimum).

Scoold needs a level of access to the machine that the managed container, shared between several customers, does not give. Two VPS hosted in France: DINAO installs and manages it for you, or you administer it yourself.

Technical reason: bind mount of a host path (named volumes only in the managed offer).

Option 2 The simplest

  • The machine is yours alone: the folders Scoold needs are created on it
  • System and Docker managed by DINAO, monitoring included
  • Priority support included (2-hour response time, DINAO business days and hours)
  • Stated, capped resources (2 vCPU, 2 GB, 20 GB): beyond that, a larger size is offered

Frequently asked questions

You might be wondering…

About Scoold 6 questions

What is Scoold used for?

To capture knowledge: internal support (IT, HR, business), collaborative documentation, customer FAQs. The Q&A format with voting brings the best answers to the top and avoids answering the same question a hundred times.

Can I open certain spaces to my customers?

Yes. Scoold manages public and private spaces with distinct roles: you can reserve part for internal teams and open another to your customers or partners.

Where is the data hosted?

On the DINAO infrastructure in France, in one of the available data centers. Your content never leaves the territory.

Are technical skills required?

No for usage: the interface is familiar (Stack Overflow-style) and ready to use. You install and maintain the application on your VPS, which is delivered with Docker and a management panel.

Can I change plans or export my data?

Yes. You can move up or down tiers at any time, and your content remains exportable — no proprietary lock-in.

Is this application tested before it is offered?

This application has not yet passed our automatic deployment test. It can still be installed, but we invite you to contact us before ordering: we will then test it as a priority. The deployment template used was last updated on 3 July 2026. Each new version released by the publisher triggers this test again: the date above therefore follows the version actually offered.
