Top 7 PHP Wiki Projects

  1. BookStack

    A platform to create documentation/wiki content built with PHP & Laravel

    Project mention: Self-hosting with Podman | dev.to | 2025-04-15

    Additionally at some point people behind this product decided to change the licensing model, and allow the use of community editions for up to 5 nodes. It wasn't my case, but that pushed me to use something more independent. So I started using dockge, then added another service for docker logs, version monitor, and keeps adding applications that are fun to use, for example homebox or bookstack. It was fun until I released the cost of energy and maintenance effort need to keep it running, at my home. Every internet issue, or power issue takes my setup down. Maybe it was not happening very often, but when I wasn’t home, and the hardware was down, there was no chance to fix it remotely. And I started relaying on that service. That is why I simply decided to migrate to hetzner, and podman at the same time, and use remote NFS. However, let's start from the beginning.

    DokuWiki.

    This database-free FOSS wiki engine [1] with a focus on simplicity is 19 years old, still gets updated, has useful extensions for additional features, is a great choice for many uses, has adopters that use and love it, and has an estimated 50,000-250,000 installations [2].

    As someone said, "DokuWiki is and will remain king for many simple reasons" [3].
