Wiki|Docs
Databaseless Markdown flat-file wiki engine

Wiki|Docs is a lightweight, databaseless wiki and documentation engine that stores content as plain Markdown files. It provides a WYSIWYG editor, attachments, image uploads, revision history and a generated index/sitemap for simple documentation sites.
Key Features
- Databaseless flat-file storage using plain Markdown files and directory namespaces
- WYSIWYG editor plus Markdown editing with KaTeX support for math rendering
- Unlimited page revisions and built-in versioning of documents
- Upload and manage attachments and images (including clipboard image paste)
- Automatic generated index and sitemap for content discovery
- Support for public and private browsing modes, syntax highlighting, multi-language and dark mode
- Deployable via Docker with bundled Apache/PHP; configuration examples for Apache and Nginx included
Use Cases
- Internal team knowledge base or product documentation for small-to-medium projects
- Project wiki for technical documentation and collaborative notes
- Lightweight public documentation site where a database is unnecessary
Limitations and Considerations
- Flat-file storage can limit scalability for very large sites or high-concurrency write workloads
- Advanced full-text search and enterprise features are not provided out of the box and may require external tooling
- Being PHP/Apache-based, deployments require a PHP runtime and appropriate web server configuration
Wiki|Docs is suitable for users who want a simple, file-based wiki with revision history and easy deployment. It is optimized for straightforward documentation workflows but may need additional tooling for large-scale search or enterprise integrations.
