    Bookstack ended up being it.

  • Outline

    The fastest knowledge base for growing teams. Beautiful, realtime collaborative, feature packed, and markdown compatible.

    I also have https://www.getoutline.com/ set up, it works but it's a bit of a hassle to install even with docker-compose. Still, it's the best self-hosted alternative to Notion that I've ever used.

    I recently set up something with https://retype.com/ and it's quite good.

    Do you need a whole wiki? You could put together a static HTML documentation site with MkDocs.

    If you wanted to take the time to read through this PR created by the Mail-in-a-Box maintainer for project migration to 22.04, you could see how the silliness goes on to downstream projects.
