Dokuwiki
Easy to use, lightweight, standards-compliant wiki engine with a simple syntax allowing reading the data outside the wiki. All data is stored in plain text files, therefore no database is required.
DokuWiki is a self‑hosted wiki engine that stores every page as a plain‑text file, eliminating the need for a database. Its lightweight design relies on a simple markup syntax that is easy to learn, while still producing standards‑compliant HTML output. Because the content resides in ordinary files, users can read, edit, or version the data with any external tools without interacting with the wiki itself.
The software targets individuals and small teams who need a straightforward, file‑based solution for collaborative note‑taking, documentation, or knowledge bases. Its open‑source GPL‑2.0 license allows unrestricted modification and redistribution, and the project has been maintained stably since 2004, providing a mature codebase and community support.
Installation and usage instructions are hosted on the official DokuWiki website, and the project’s source includes full licensing details. No subscription or proprietary components are required, making it suitable for environments that prefer free, self‑contained software.
