Wiki.js hosting: documentation that lives next to your code.

Pages in Markdown, which can be stored in a Git repository. We host Wiki.js and keep it up to date.

Short answer

Wiki.js is a wiki for technical teams. You write pages in Markdown, the content can be synchronised with a Git repository, and you find everything again with search. There are many ways to sign in. We host Wiki.js in the Netherlands on our own servers and do the maintenance. It can replace Confluence or GitBook for teams that want to keep documentation with their code.

We host both. A common misunderstanding is that a wiki for the whole company has to be in Markdown. It can be, but most colleagues prefer writing in an ordinary editor.

Documentation that does not go stale

Documentation goes stale the moment it lives somewhere other than the code. Whoever changes the code does not open the wiki. You can do something about that by keeping the pages beside the code, in the same Git repository, with the same review before anything goes live.

Wiki.js makes that possible: you can write in the wiki itself or in the repository, and the two are kept together. Whether you want that depends on how your team works. If you have no repository to connect, Wiki.js is simply a good wiki as well.

Questions

Who is Wiki.js meant for?

For technical teams that want to write documentation in Markdown and keep it with the code. Think of administrators who maintain runbooks and developers with internal guides. A team without a technical background can work with it too, but will get more from an editor that resembles a word processor, like the one in BookStack.

What does synchronisation with Git mean in Wiki.js?

The pages can sit as files in a Git repository, and changes in the wiki and in the repository are carried over to each other. That gives your documentation the history and the review process of Git as well. Which repository you use, we discuss beforehand. It can be the Forgejo environment we also manage, or another.

Can we let others read along without letting them write?

Yes. You set per group who may read, write or manage pages, and you can shield whole parts of the wiki. One section can be visible to clients while the internal documentation stays behind it. Signing in can use an existing account, so you do not have to create separate users.

What happens to our pages if we want to move to another system?

Because the pages are Markdown, they are easy to take along. If you use Git synchronisation, they already sit as files in your own repository, apart from our server. Otherwise we hand over an export of all pages and images. Markdown opens in almost any other system, so the content stays usable.
