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.
