I’ve long been thinking about writing some technical things I didn’t find easily on the internet down somewhere.

I don’t want to use a platform like medium as I’d like to have control over my data. I’m already selfhosting diffrent web services like a password manager (vaulwarden), audiobookshelf and more in docker behind a reverse proxy. So whatever software I decide on should have a docker image available.

It would also be rather nice if the software would play nicely with the fediverse, so from some quick searching it seems that WordPress with the ActivityPub plugin would work nicely.

It there some other software I’ve overlooked that I should also consider?

Do you want it to specifically implement ActivityPub / federation?

If not, theres a few different wiki solutions you could host

I’m actually already using mediawiki for my own notes, but the quality I write down for myself is not as good as I want to publish. 🙈

I also don’t find the style of mediawiki that nice and was specifically looking for something different that makes things look a bit more polished just from the styling itself.

But I suppose it would also have it’s benefits using a software I’m already familiar with. 🤔

If you want a better wiki, I would recommend wiki.js

Any Wikis that offer CommonMark for writing?

Common mark specifically, and not just general markdown support?

https://github.com/gollum/gollum

This specific version (v3) states Commonmark on their readme. The “main” / other repository doesn’t, unsure if its just a documentation oversight

quick edit - looks like wikiJs does as well
