What’s the prettiest yet most lightweight self-hosted wiki service out there?

• TiddlyWiki

  273 7,710 9.6 JavaScript

  A self-contained JavaScript wiki for the browser, Node.js, AWS Lambda etc.

I like TiddlyWiki, which is possible to make "prettier" (but the non-linear aspect might not work for you)

• mdBook

  100 16,669 8.6 Rust

  Create book from markdown files. Like Gitbook but implemented in Rust

  

I also don't mind using a Markdown editor + static site generator like mdBook - BookStack is where I'd have gone if I wanted something else

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• Gollum

  40 13,559 7.0 Ruby

  A simple, Git-powered wiki with a local frontend and support for many kinds of markup and content.

  

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

• Trilium Notes

  278 25,307 9.7 JavaScript

  Build your personal knowledge base with Trilium Notes

Sounds like you were in a similar boat as me as I wasn't a fan of wikijs or bookstack either. The best I've personally found so far is Trilium which is pretty close to Obsidian

• Joplin

  771 42,770 9.9 TypeScript

  Joplin - the secure note taking and to-do app with synchronisation capabilities for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

Another way - is Joplin - you may have it on multiple clients and sync with webdav or its own server

• Dokuwiki

  18 3,997 9.7 PHP

  The DokuWiki Open Source Wiki Engine

  

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

• Pepperminty Wiki

  9 172 6.7 PHP

  A wiki in a box

Pepperminty Wiki is very leightweight and simple.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
