I recently tried to deploy wikijs on my offline environment (I have no
proxy to access the internet, it is fully offline) and it was a
terrible experience. I am looking for a wiki service that can be

1.  Self hosted in an offline environment
2.  Have some form of authentication
3.  Have a virtual editor
4.  Sync its data to git


My goal is to create a wiki for me team, and using ci/cd pipelines,
join multiple docs repo to one

Check out DokuWiki, Doesnt need a a database so it's easy to set up
and has a plugin to sync your data to a git repository

I have used Wikijs for a while completely offline and dont remember
any specific issues with that. What was your terrible experience
exactly?

hmm, what exactly was your "terrible experience"?
I use Wikijs in a docer container on a separate server, which has no
internet-connection and have no issue. Afaik there is no need for a
internet-connection to get it work.

Check out Gollum.  It's simple, but should meet all your requirements.

Sideloading the localization didn’t work, my titles looked like a
reference rather than an actual title (start.menu), the pages didn’t
render and a lot of menus didn’t work

Hmm weird, i would have noticed that of course. Might be worth to
report it to the devs.
