Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Currently I have random docs/how-tos for my network stored in a forgejo repo, just a bunch of READMEs. I'd like to somehow make that a bit more official, I like writing it in markdown/git and having source control, but was wondering if anyone has a good wiki tool they like that can consume that and make it more hostable? Thanks!

Also, if you do it right, I’m pretty sure you can cross-link your git repo’s markdown files without using the built in wiki.

This makes it a lot more portable if you want to update the wiki in your favorite text editor.

I've had this in my homelab for months and had no idea. Thanks.

Interesting, had no idea!

Any idea if it will render Mermaid diagrams correctly?

As well as any other mermaid renderers I've seen. Which is to say it works, but has the same drawbacks for diagrams I've seen everywhere else with mermaid.

This looks great! Thank you for the recommendation!

I use https://mycorrhiza.wiki/. It is really lightweight and stores data in a git repo. So it is terribly easy to export and backup it. the only drawback is that it uses its own markdown dialect
