Is it Common Practice to use a “Dev Wiki”?
I have used DokuWiki in few personal and work (non-gamedev) projects. Seems to work well. https://www.dokuwiki.org/

Looking for a Feature-Rich, Self-Hosted Note-Taking and Productivity App - Need Recommendations!
While considering alternatives, I thought about DokuWiki, which looks like an unlikely solution, and Nextcloud, which I've already used in the past. Both seem a good option in their own right, though I favor Nextcloud because it's a more direct approach. However, I'm inclined towards a solution that's leaner and less bloated. Nevertheless, if any of those is the one that is most likely to solve my dilemma, I'm open towards using any of those two. I'm also investigating Anytype.io, which seems like the best option, but it seems it works with an invitation.

What do you use to keep track of parts inventory?
I already have a Dokuwiki set up on my home server, which would make it easy to attach notes and datasheets to the various items. But I wonder if there are some purpose made solutions for this. Not too complicated or it won't be updated very often...
