What is your favourite selfhosted wiki software and why? - eviltoast

There are a ton of options listed on the Awesome Selfhosted list. I’m on the search for a FOSS option that I can use to document my homelab and personal tech projects.

Right now, I’m leaning towards wiki.js

    Recently went through this. Needed a quick and dirty knowledge repository for work. Ended up running bookstack, wiki.js and dokuwik in docker containers, building the same wiki in each and then messed around with it. Landed on bookstack and wiki.js, bookstack because I liked the end user UI and wiki.js because of the backend. I think most my co-workers use the bookstack one.

      Bookstack looks really cool, considering it for a project at work but I don’t like how you can’t have pages outside of books. We’re looking to put together a general knowledge base that could span many different types of equipment and manufactures. For that reason I’m leaning towards wiki.js due to the search and tag browsing, but basically planning on doing the same installing those same 3 to check them out.

        Another thing with bookstack is that if your local IP changes for any reason, it breaks all the images and it is pretty frustrating to get them working again. They added a command to try to fix this, but I could never get it to work correctly.

        I ended up switching to wiki.js and haven’t had a single problem since, but I do miss the super sleek look of bookstack sometimes.
