Deploy Scoold in one click installation.
Self-hosted Stack Overflow-style Q&A platform for teams, classrooms, and internal knowledge sharing.
What you can build with Scoold
Scoold is an open-source Q&A and knowledge sharing platform inspired by Stack Overflow, purpose-built for teams, schools, and organizations that need a structured place to capture questions, answers, and tribal knowledge. The single-JAR Spring Boot frontend is paired with the Para backend, which handles authentication, search, and persistence and ships bundled in this deployment with an embedded H2 store ready to use on first boot.
Self-hosting Scoold keeps every question, answer, vote, and user identity on your own VPS instead of a third-party SaaS Q&A service. There are no per-seat fees, no vendor lock-in on your knowledge base, and the Apache 2.0 license lets you tune voting rules, badges, spaces, and authentication providers to match how your team actually works.
Key features of Scoold
Stack Overflow workflow
Voting, accepted answers, reputation, badges, and tags give contributors the same familiar question-and-answer flow as the public Stack Overflow, with no learning curve for new team members.
Spaces for teams
Group questions and users into isolated Spaces so engineering, support, and HR can share a single Scoold install without their content bleeding into each other.
Bundled Para backend
The Para application server is deployed alongside Scoold and auto-initialized on first boot, so authentication, search, and storage work out of the box with no separate setup.
Social and LDAP login
Sign in with Google, GitHub, Facebook, Microsoft, Slack, LDAP, or email and password — pick the identity providers your organization already uses without writing custom auth code.
Markdown and code blocks
GitHub-flavored markdown with syntax-highlighted code blocks, tables, task lists, and emoji makes Scoold a natural fit for engineering teams documenting technical problems and solutions.
REST API and webhooks
An OpenAPI 3.0 REST interface and signed webhooks let you script reporting, import legacy Q&A content, and wire Scoold into chat, Zapier, or your own automation.

Docker VPS hosting you can rely on
I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
