PigeonCatcher,

Obsidian, of course.

js.wiki maybe?

nb is a command line and local web note‑taking, bookmarking, archiving, and knowledge base application.

balance_sheet,

It's slightly out of topic of selfhosting but have you tried Obsidian?I personally feel like personal wiki must be in Obsidian.

Skewer2459,

If you use perlite you can self host a web copy. I like it much better than other wiki solutions.

grumpyrico,

thx for the tip

Edo78,

What features of perlite do you like more than obsidian?

Skewer2459,

It is obsidian. Perlite is just an open replacement for the obsidian publish.

stephenc,

I've been using Obsidian for over a year now and I absolutely love it. It has joined the very short list of software that I have almost no complaints about and don't really care to even passively look for a replacement. It's like the developers read my mind for a Markdown editing app that I've wanted to exist for a decade. I've given them money because its awesome and I'm happy to support their development.

Personally I don't really need to access my personal wiki (I call it my "commonplace book" or personal knowledge base) from the web though; local files synced between devices works just fine for me.

rezz,

Try mdBook if you’re a rust person!

Protegee9850,

I'll piggyback on this post in that I'm looking for a good ObsidianMD -> self-hosted wiki solution.

Skewer2459,

Check out perlite.

Smash,

wikijs comes to mind, it's deploy-able with a single docker command:

docker run -d 
--name=wikijs 
--restart=unless-stopped 
--publish 8080:3000 
--env "DB_TYPE=sqlite" 
--env "DB_FILEPATH=/wiki/db.sqlite" 
--volume wikijs:/wiki 
--volume wikijs:/wiki/data/content 
ghcr.io/requarks/wiki:2
cardes,

@Smash @firebreathingbunny I'm also quiet happy with wikijs, it has some nice features like git integration and oidc support that I'm using.

festus,

I also self-host WikiJS and am quite happy with it. FYI though if you're setting it up I'd instead configure it to use Postgres as the database, as I recall reading that they're planning on removing SQLite support at some point. Unfortunately though that does mean you lose a one-liner like this.

Smash,

Okay, thanks for the heads up! I don't actively use wikijs yet, I'll setup a stack using postgres when I do

V4uban,

dialecticcake,

I switched from Tiddlywiki to Logseq 3-4 months ago and LOVE Logseq.

Part of the reason I didn't like Tiddlywiki was it kept everything in a single html file (including embedded images -- eww) which made it annoying to move information around. (Note there is an option to run your own server which gives you extra flexibility, but I wasn't interested in doing that.)

With Logseq, it's separate markdown file per journal entry / wiki page. I like the addons that are available as well as the queries, e.g., {{query (todo doing)}} displays my do now tasks on my journal page.

Here's a Beginner's Guide on how to use LogSeq: YouTube video by Keep Productive

V4uban,

Aren't you worried that Logseq doesn't use "pure" Markdown?

dialecticcake,

Good that you mentioned that. Personally, I think it's a fair trade off for Logseq's functionality.

Here are some links that discuss this including some scripts

Oh cool, I thought Raneto was dead.

I think you should specify whether you're looking for a wiki for personal use or shared use.

If you're looking for personal use, something like standard notes can be a great option.

If you're looking for shared use, and don't care about encryption, wiki.js is IMO your best bet.

There's currently no option that does both. Skiff exists as an encrypted collaborative notes option but it doesn't (to my knowledge) allow any kind of self hosting.

ben,

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.

Skewer2459,

Check out perlite.

bouncybobcat,

Not sure if it's the kind of thing you had in mind, but I like TiddlyWiki for certain things like note-taking. (See here for saving/hosting options).

ThorrJo,

I make extensive use of TiddlyWiki with the Markdown plugin and twexe for hosting/saving - works great - though it's worth noting that TiddlyWiki is really meant for lots of bite-size "tiddlers" and not for large single pages full of information, which are considerably more difficult to manage using its interface.

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!

You can also use Gitea/Forgejo, since it's selfhostable and FOSS, or GitLab CE.

Bdking158,

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

ElectronSoup,

I use Silicon Notes; While it has 'Notes' in the title, it's just a lightweight markdown based wiki

kzs,

Can recommend this one: like it very much
