Hey, I have to install a wiki to centralize knowledge for a small project (<20 contributors). The idea here is to host documentation that may include small medias. The team is not all tech, having an embedded WYSIWYG text-editor would be nice. It's hosted on a bare-metal server I own, I can install whatever I want. (Needs to be compatible with a nginx reverse proxy).I was about to go with mediawiki as my personal wiki is using this engine. But I actually no idea about what I'm doing and wonder if there's any other candidate.Does mediawiki seems appropriate for this use case? Would you suggest something else?CC @kensanata (I know you are really familiar with the whole wiki scene).

@Ninjatrappeur @kensanata For small teams i would recommend dokuwiki which is simpler to admin and to use.It doesn't even need a DB.

@lord @Ninjatrappeur @kensanata I've used dokuwiki very successful for stuff like this in the past!

@Zuph @lord @Ninjatrappeur I would obviously use my own (Oddmuse) but I'm also happy to hack on Perl and I've had two WYSIWYG editors in the past. Dokuwiki, MoinMoin and Oddmuse are all simple and file-based. But perhaps @njoseph_1's point is best: simple installation and familiarity might beat easy-of-hacking and might not incur too much of a maintenance burden?https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:wysiwyghttps://moinmo.in/FCKeditorhttps://oddmuse.org/wiki/Using_FCKeditor_In_Addition_To_Wiki_Markuphttps://oddmuse.org/wiki/Using_Dojo_Instead_Of_Wiki_Markup

@Ninjatrappeur @kensanata I would suggest xwiki.I'm in the process of migrating an old Confluence site to xwiki. It has an official docker container, and has a pretty decent user interface.I might have a different opinion after I clean up our old Confluence import and try doing more complicated stuff with it, but so far it seems like a decent wiki. https://hub.docker.com/_/xwiki/

@Ninjatrappeur @kensanata MediaWiki's Visual Editor really saves your contributors the pain of having to learn an obscure new markup syntax.I wrote my own installation guide here.https://njoseph.me/mediawiki/FreedomBox/Tips_and_Tricks#MediaWikiI once wasted a significant amount of time doing the whole installation manually. I'll now recommend installing FreedomBox on the bare metal server and using its 1-click installer to install MediaWiki. Then install the Visual Editor manually using my guide. #MediaWiki on #FreedomBox

@Ninjatrappeur You could look into dokuwiki. I started using it in a fablab environment and found it interesting enough to deploy a personal engine for myself. It's really easy to use for non-tech users.
