What it does
Wiki|Docs is a flat-file wiki that stores knowledge as portable Markdown files rather than in a database. Its project repository describes a standalone desktop app and self-hosting through Docker, with a WYSIWYG editor, page revisions, attachments, and namespaces for organizing content.
Keep the knowledge base in Markdown files
Wiki|Docs is aimed at people who want a wiki without a database service or cloud lock-in. The project describes running the knowledge base as a desktop app or hosting it with Docker, while keeping the content in Markdown files that can be moved outside the product. The listed wiki features include a visual editor, page revisions, attachments, namespaces, public or private browsing, and generated indexes.
The current release API lists version 2.0.2, published on October 25, 2026, so this is not just an abandoned archived project. That release includes significant migration changes; the project recommends backing up a 1.x dataset before migration. No installation or migration was performed.
Strengths
- Portable Markdown files avoid tying the knowledge base to a proprietary database format.
- The project describes desktop and Docker deployment paths plus revisions, attachments, and namespaces.
Watch out for
- The current 2.0.2 release changes the data structure; the project warns users to back up before migrating from 1.x.
Best for
- Individuals or small teams who want a file-based wiki they can run locally or self-host
