There are a ton of options listed on the Awesome Selfhosted list. I’m on the search for a FOSS option that I can use to document my homelab and personal tech projects.

Right now, I’m leaning towards wiki.js

Bookstack looks really cool, considering it for a project at work but I don’t like how you can’t have pages outside of books. We’re looking to put together a general knowledge base that could span many different types of equipment and manufactures. For that reason I’m leaning towards wiki.js due to the search and tag browsing, but basically planning on doing the same installing those same 3 to check them out.

Another thing with bookstack is that if your local IP changes for any reason, it breaks all the images and it is pretty frustrating to get them working again. They added a command to try to fix this, but I could never get it to work correctly.

I ended up switching to wiki.js and haven’t had a single problem since, but I do miss the super sleek look of bookstack sometimes.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
