Private deployment

Self-hosted AI code documentation and knowledge base for regulated teams.

Generate, store, search, and manage codebase documentation when repositories cannot move through a standard SaaS workflow. DocuWriter supports private Spaces and deployment planning for self-hosted, on-premise, and restricted network environments.

01 / Why teams ask Sensitive source code

A private path for documentation work that touches restricted repositories.

The goal is not another self-hosted wiki or a file generator. The goal is a private, code-aware knowledge base where documentation can be generated, stored, searched, reviewed, and managed under the access and retention rules your team already operates.

Regulated source code

Use a private deployment path when repositories cannot move through a standard SaaS documentation workflow.

Security review

Self-hosted Git

Plan around GitHub Enterprise, GitLab, private Git, VPNs, WAFs, and restricted repository access.

Network access

Procurement control

Give security and procurement teams a concrete model for source access, Spaces storage, AI calls, search indexes, and retention.

Data boundaries
02 / Knowledge base Spaces, storage, search

Self-hosted should include the place where the knowledge lives.

DocuWriter is not only the generation step. Private deployments can include Spaces for storing and managing documentation, search over the resulting knowledge base, and controlled export paths for the teams and systems that need the docs.

Private Spaces

Store generated documentation in structured Spaces with pages, hierarchy, and team-ready management instead of loose one-off files.

Store

Searchable code knowledge

Search across implementation notes, architecture pages, API docs, runbooks, and generated code explanations inside the same private boundary.

Search

Managed documentation lifecycle

Control refresh cadence, review, retention, exports, and where docs are shared across teams or downstream systems.

Manage
03 / Deployment models Pick the AI boundary

Choose the model path your security team can approve.

Most private DocuWriter conversations fall into one of two deployable models, with air-gapped use cases scoped separately because the model and update paths are materially different.

Managed AI connectivity

DocuWriter runs the documentation and knowledge base workflow while connecting to managed model infrastructure under agreed data boundaries.

Fastest path

Customer-owned AI providers

Use your approved model accounts or private AI gateway when AI access must stay under your vendor contracts.

Maximum control

Air-gapped review

Fully offline deployments need technical scoping because model, embedding, update, and support paths vary by environment.

04 / Scoping checklist Quote the real environment

Bring the constraints. We will map the deployment.

The fastest calls are specific. Bring repository count, network path, approved AI providers, retention rules, Spaces requirements, and the searchable knowledge base your stakeholders need.
