Dokuwiki VS Apostrophe

Dokuwiki for Documentation

I have used DokuWiki in few personal and work (non-gamedev) projects. Seems to work well. https://www.dokuwiki.org/

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.

FYI, the PR is https://github.com/dokuwiki/dokuwiki/pull/3798 if you want to read about it

The oldest and still supported software that will cover all your list - is: DokuWiKi It is web based, but there on site you can even find portable installation on flash drive. No database, plain files as backend.

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...

joplin or DokuWiKi

DocuWiKi - one of the oldest one, no need for database and it even has thumbdrive version

Also, a release candidate has been tagged, so a new version should be coming "soon".

Maybe Ghostwriter or Apostrophe?

However, a few months ago started switched to Apostrophe (Desktop Linux) as my writing driver, leaving LO Writer only for editing and spellchecking. "Markdown" style editors like Apostrophe are a simpler interface and focus on what you really need — to get the words out of the brain and into paper / e-paper. Spellcheck and proofreading can come up later (and for that I still go to LO Writer since it's easy to work dictionaries for it). Plus, it has a simple export to HTML that allows you to quickly send and share stuff to eg.: beta readers.

The two best I have used are Apostrophe and ThiefMD. Both are available as a flatpak if your distro doesn't have them in the repos. Apostrophe is the nicer writing experience for a single document and exports through pandoc. ThiefMD isn't as good at exporting, but it has a wide variety of themes available, and keeps an organized library for you, similar to Ulysses on mac os, which makes it perfect for notes and longform writing. Regrettably, there doesn't appear to be in the settings for RTL for either of them...
