I saw a mention of Wiki.js today and I looked at the landscape of wiki software. There’s plenty to choose from. What do you host?

Update

Thanks for all the opinions. I tried both Wiki.js and DokuWiki and I found that both can save data as .md files. I think I’ll go with Wiki.js for now.

Dokuwiki personally, wiki.js at work.

I prefer dokuwiki and how everything’s just a text file.

Wiki.js looks more modern. I wouldn’t want customer facing documentation in Dokuwiki.

Second Dokuwiki. It’s just too easy, flat files and it takes up almost no room.

Love Bookstack!

The dev has also got a PeerTube instance spun up:

Currently using Silverbullet ( https://silverbullet.md ).

I like that it has offline mode and everything is in .md files, and it is a combined edit and view mode. The home page us editable, but doesn’t sync back - if you want to test it

It has a pretty powerful query function, to autogenerate lists of tasks or files

Reminds me of Obsidian, which is what I use for notes. But obsidian isn’t selfhosted. I might actually host a copy of that because it’s cool

I use Silverbullet too and have set the same directory as my vimwiki path, so I can edit my files in the terminal if I want, but also in the browser. Never had issues with it.

I am currently using DokuWiki via Docker Container. It’s simple and works flawlessly

+1 for Dokuwiki. It’s simple and fast, has a flat file storage, and a nice syntax.

Might not fit exactly with what you were thinking, but I use Obsidian for notes and it’s built in ‘wiki-style’ links make relating knowledge really easy. I use git to sync across devices.

I use Obsidian for notes too. Recently, I’ve been playing with Starlight (based on Astro) for notes that I want to put on the web. It supports .md & .mdx files so creating a page is pretty much just copy + paste. Haven’t gotten around to self-hosting it yet though
