   Fediverse, I need your help. What Wiki platform should I run on my server? I self-host and can run anything. I am looking for the following things: * Account management * Web interface editing * Ideally, storage as text files on disk that can also be easily managed Other things, like media support (e.g. uploading images and embedding them in pages) would be good. I look forward to ideas!

     @steve I prefer Dokuwiki as its very lightweight. It has a good and simple plugin and theme infrastructure, so adapting the wiki to your needs is easy.

     OK! I've now got 3 votes for DokuWiki, 2 from pump.io and 1 from GNU Social. I'll be checking that out.

     @steve I second @vinzv‘s recommendation. #Dokuwiki is pretty pain-free (important if you don’t wish to admin it full-time).

     I've installed Dokuwiki. So far, it's awesome. Everything I was looking for - user management, flat files on disk (no DB to backup), and as a bonus it has the security features to secure pages. Thanks everybody! This is definitely "the one" for me.
