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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    I used Linuxserver’s Docker container of Dokuwiki when I migrated my notes from Evernote a few years ago. It was easy to setup and configure, has a number of plugins that further improve it, and it did the job really well.

    I ended up migrating it all to Obsidian this year, as it serves my needs better, but otherwise I’d still be using Dokuwiki.

    I use gitit from the Debian repositories. It’s a simple server application without a database and it uses git and pandoc. I just run gitit -f somewiki.conf and access it in the browser. As formatting you can use what pandoc supports, but I’ve chosen reStructuredText. DokuWiki mentioned by others in the thread is also a good option.

    I run Outline. Originally I was looking for a drop in Notion replacement, but it isn’t quite there yet.

    I still run it because the stack was a bear to deploy, so I wanna get some use out of the product (Redis, Outline itself, Postgres, and MinIO or AWS). It is a good product, it’s just lacking some features that I use in Notion
