A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

What wiki? (lemmy.ca)

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'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.
