reddit / selfhosted

I am the project manager of a school project and have been tasked to
create a knowledge base for the project. The wiki will include texts
as well as files like pdfs, cad files, mp4, png etc. I need people to
access the wiki from their own computers and they should be able to
download/upload files to the wiki. The school has a server we can use,
although I am open to suggestions for any software recommendations
that you might have. I have tried Obsidian but it doesnt look like it
fits my needs.

I use Wiki.js to host my wiki/documentation on a VPS, but Bookstack is
good and Dokuwiki is tried and true (even if it looks outdated). Have
you looked into those yet? Not sure if they meet your requirements as
I'm a single user, but thought I'd throw them out there.

Another vote for Dokuwiki, I use it for documenting everything I do in
the lab and for various hobby projects. Lots of useful plugins and
it's all pretty simple to get set up almost anywhere.

For self-hosted stuff,

- BookStack. It's what I use for documentation and love it.
- MediaWiki. It's what powers Wikipedia. More of a learning curve
potentially or more in depth setup for you to get visual editors
working.

For non-self-hosted stuff,

- Notion. My team at work uses it, and it's extremely powerful and
flexible.
- Atlassian Confluence. My last job used it and also loved it. There
might be an enterprise on-prem version?

atlassian confluence has 2 CVE Score 10.0 bugs at the moment.
check out thehackernews.com so probably not a good idea rn at least

Are people using wikis in place of software like Joplin for personal
note taking?

So you are using wikis in place of software like Joplin for personal
note taking?

No, I actually use Google Keep for the very infrequent times I am
organised enough to take a note. I use the wiki for documentation.

It's not selfhosted, but it has a really good ui and you can eassly
set it up with github.
