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?
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.
https://www.bookstackapp.com/ is nice.
Love Bookstack!
The dev has also got a PeerTube instance spun up:

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
I use Obsidian for notes too. Recently, I've been playing with Starlight (based on Astro) for notes that I want to put on the web. It supports .md & .mdx files so creating a page is pretty much just copy + paste. Haven't gotten around to self-hosting it yet though
Also love dokuwiki
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'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.
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
I'm using Bookstack for myself as well as for work and I love it. It may not have all the features some of the others mentioned here do but there is beauty in its simplicity. It gets out of my way but still has a few power user features.
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

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.
