Watching the thread because I’ve recently been toying with the idea of using Dokuwiki as a place to store all my selfhosting notes.
Comment on Setting up dokuwiki as flat files and folders

Are others running Dokuwiki in production? Would much appreciate suggestions for setting up a nice wiki flow. Right now there is probably a lot of improvements to be made in terms of indexing and otherwise organizing content. I find the plain text syntax takes a while to wrap the brain around since it isn’t markdown, but certainly fun to experiment with.

How is that going for you?

I bailed on DocuWiki in lieu of Inis. It’s Obsidian but without the need for VNC that the LinuxServer edition had incorporated. I’ve always liked the way Obsidian is set up, but I didn’t like the fact that I had to access it via VNC. To make a note in the LinuxServer edition, you had to paste it into VNC and then paste it into Obsidian, which was rather awkward.

Dokuwiki has been great so far and it is folders:files so no way would I replace it with anything more complex

I have just let it grow organically. The front page is an index of various topics from personal things and particular games to household information. Then below that there might be just a page or an index to a bunch of pages often starting just as a list of links. I am often refactoring once a page has a bunch of sub headings of related topics but ultimately now needing multiple pages and replacing the original with the index to those pages. I don’t think I could have designed an index system from the start without the content because I wouldn’t have known what I was going to store.

Yep, figured it would be fun to hear from others doing similar. Got a number of posts, but just getting to a point where better indexing is important.
