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.
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.
I’m interested in what people have to say!
I recently copied over a reddit wiki to Wiki.js. I had to watch a couple of tutorials, but in the end it’s really simple. It uses the headers for whatever you type to automatically make clickable links.
Is that common for wiki software? I don’t know.
The only thing that I’m trying to decide if I like is the 3 column navigation. Far left is the top level subjects, then there’s a second column of navigation for the current section, and finally the 3rd “column” is all of the wiki text.
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.
I run several instances of mediawiki. Sometimes I curse the programmers for being jockeys (next to no usable documentation, every update breaks something), but at the end of the day it’s easy and works.
When i figure out how to hide ip addresses from logged out users and how to implement the short url so it doesnt show index.php on my url ill finally be able to finish launching my wiki on mediawiki.
But yeah like you said there’s barely documentation and its really hard to get a reply on the support page
