I’m looking for a wiki solution (either remotely hosted or self-hosted is fine) that takes Markdown input.
Thanks.
Looks like wiki.js and BookStack both support Markdown.
I’m a big fan of Bookstack. The Docker images work great, also in Kubernetes. SSO is easy to set up as well, so if you’re using something like Authentik for SSO, you can integrate it pretty easily.
I love Bookstack!
The diagram tool can be used to markup anything. Besides the obvious, I’ve also put pictures as the background and then marked up those to diagram out some work I was doing around the house.
I hope the dev makes his way over here, he was very active on Reddit.
I’m currently hosting a wiki.js
you can either use markdown or a visual editorMy only gripe with wiki.js was the use of SQL for local storage. My wiki must be future proof and locking myself in an obscure SQL database was the deal breaker. I know that you can sync with a Git repo, but it felt like an overkill.
Dokuwiki has a plugin that lets you use markdown instead of their proprietary markup.
+1 Dokuwiki. It is a little complicated than most to configure the first time, but once you have everything running, it will work without complaints. Also, the whole wiki is stored as plain text files, which is awesome for backups.
piling on for Dokuwiki. Have been running it personally and for an org (2 different wikis) for like 7 or 8 years. No problems, and it’s own syntax is pretty easy too. I’ve migrated a few times too and love that it’s just plain text files
I use Silicon Notes; While it has ‘Notes’ in the title, it’s just a lightweight markdown based wiki
Can recommend this one: like it very much
Obsidian, of course.
It’s not selfhosted.
gollum is self-hosted and uses markdown by default
You could always just use a github repo as a wiki. It would render markdown pages in your browser, and it comes with built in version control!
I’ll piggyback on this post in that I’m looking for a good ObsidianMD -> self-hosted wiki solution.
Not sure about your use case, but check out HackMD.
I’m really liking mkdocs-material. Crazy lightweight. Very safe. And it looks nice.
https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/We use wiki.js at work and it is great. A nice benefit is you can track your articles in a git repository for granular change tracking.
I stopped using it because it wasn’t the best for the use case I was looking for but I’ll plug SilverBullet. It is a well made program and seems very powerful from what I’ve seen
I personally use Grav. It’s fully markdown bases and store the content in markdown files as well, instead of a database.
The Learn2 theme is the one for a documentation-style look. Check out the official documentation for how it looks and here’s my own customized version.Obsidian is a fantastic note taking app that focuses on cross-linked notes, so is effectively a personal wiki.
It has a paid add on that lets you publish it to a website, or you can just do it yourself since the files are all Markdown.
