Gollum VS Dokuwiki

Arguably something like ikiwiki or gollum is doing this. These are both wikis that use git as their backend 'database'. I happen to like wikis like this a lot better over wikis that store their data in mysql or some other traditional SQL backend.

Gollum is self-hosted and uses git for version control https://github.com/gollum/gollum

https://github.com/gollum/gollum ?

For something quick and easy consider https://github.com/gollum/gollum#markups which powers Github Wikis.

Note that multi-user auth is NOT supported out of the box however.

That seems something in the ballpark of my favorite wiki software:

Edit and view pages as a normal markdown wiki. But the backend is just a git repository of markdown files so you can also just use your text editor and git pull/push. Usable by any novice but with the ideal power user interface.

I'm currently using Gollum Wiki in this way. It reads from a git repository, formats the markdown files nicely, and has a limited editor that is useful in a pinch.

I use Gollum, it's very simple but fits my needs.

Gollum would be an excellent solution. It's a web interface to a directory of markdown (or other formats), backed by git. Easy to sync the plain text files on your own devices (e.g. Syncthing) while still having a public web interface for school/work computers.

Gollum could meet the need. Logseq might work as well; here's a potential guide to self-hosting.

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".
