  1. Gollum

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

    Not many wiki site engines based on Markdown work directly from git as cleanly as this.

    There's a few of them though, such as this old Ruby lang standby with a decade's worth of features that a decade ago was a way to host your same GitHub Pages site locally, supporting SSO:

  3. distro

    START HERE! This is the Foswiki project "Distribution". It is a monolith repository with the core + default extensions. (by foswiki)

    do you know a wiki where one can add metadata to the pages?

    I used https://foswiki.org and it was great for combining structured and non structured information

  4. tinacms

    A fully open-source headless CMS that supports Markdown and Visual Editing

  5. otterwiki

    A minimalistic wiki powered by python, markdown and git.

    I got it running locally like this:

        git clone https://github.com/redimp/otterwiki.git

  6. piku

    The tiniest PaaS you've ever seen. Piku allows you to do git push deployments to your own servers.

    I got it to work under Piku (https://piku.github.io) in much the same way (since I support uwsgi, that bit was trivial).

    I did have to hardcode the data path, and I think having some form of export/snapshot would help as well, but submitting a patch might be a fun weekend project.

  7. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB high-performance time series database. Collect, organize, and act on massive volumes of high-resolution data to power real-time intelligent systems.
