Simple self-hosted personal wiki (alien.top)

I want a personal wiki server that I can run on my computer locally so I can view the wiki in my web browser.

Requirements:

  • simple setup (static executable with embedded database, like SQLite)
  • the posts are made of markdown files (or modified markdown syntax)
  • I want to edit markdown files with vim, the server should just render files
  • really good search support

Dokuwiki is my choice.

  1. There is no database, all flat file just in folders, love this. When my infrastructure is down, at least I can still get to my notes so I can fix it

  2. Its markdown but not exact markdown, but no DB makes it worth that pain. You can for sure edit via vi, finding the files is a little harder though

  3. I use search both in the gui and with a cli tool, and both work great!

Another vote for Dokuwiki. All flat files, and no db. Also can run as a portable app on Windows, so you can bring it to work on a thumb drive.
