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

• TiddlyWiki

  100 7,248 9.8 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

  54 12,875 7.8 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

• SonarQube

• Gollum

  17 13,059 6.3 Ruby

  A simple, Git-powered wiki with a sweet API and local frontend.

  

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

• Trilium Notes

  114 20,358 9.4 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

  294 35,084 9.5 TypeScript

  Joplin - an open source note taking and to-do application 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

  8 3,653 9.5 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

  4 142 6.8 PHP

  A wiki in a box

  Pepperminty Wiki is very leightweight and simple.

• InfluxDB
