Tbh: I haven’t found a really good replacement yet (we are simultaneously coming off confluence as well and that is even harder)

What we tried:

• Bookstack: I.can.not.understand.what.people.like.about It.Period. From my point of view it’s one of the worst systems on the market. Why? The fact that it only allows three different levels of hierarchy, the fact that by default all your images are public and their recommended solution is security by obscurity instead of proper handling it(which it can do) or their absolutely abhorent permission handling.

• Xwiki: It’s… Clumsy. Possibly the most capable one, but it’s Java and munshes resources like they are free and it’s bothersome to setup/get working. Once it works it’s extremely capable,especially from a business point of view. It’s one of the close contenders for my confluence customers atm.

• DokuWiki has become pretty capable,but takes a good theme and a few modules to be “up to modern standards”. The second close contender.

• Another major contender is also BlueSpice. Will look into that next week.

• Last but not least outline is also an idea. Currently looking into that.

• For my personal reference,especially for everything self hosted I used to maintain a fairly extensive Wiki.js,but I have found it more and more bothersome as a split between the configuration assets and the wiki was always there. So nowadays it’s often more integrated and stringent to use my GIT repository (forgejo) to keep my documentation as well.

• The same approach is also a nice one for my work and we still discuss if we might “make it work” with our project management (Redmine) and it’s wiki component.

• Lastly for a personal wiki Tiddly might be enough, btw.
