Wikijs

App in the BluixApps catalog

What it is

Wiki.js is a modern wiki engine on Node.js — Markdown-first, Git-syncable, with 50+ authentication strategies and a polished editing experience. It's the spiritual successor to MediaWiki for teams that want a wiki without PHP, plugins, or 2005-era UX.

Built to host internal documentation, public knowledge bases, and onboarding hubs with full Git history when needed.

What it's for

  • Internal docs — engineering runbooks, onboarding, architecture decisions
  • Public knowledge bases — product documentation, FAQ, support content
  • Multi-team wikis — separate spaces with per-section ACLs
  • Markdown content — write in Markdown, render rich, link cleanly
  • Git-backed sync — back content to a Git repo for version control + portability

Who it's for

  • Engineering teams wanting Confluence ergonomics without Atlassian licensing
  • Open-source projects publishing user-facing docs from a Git repo
  • Mid-size companies consolidating scattered Google Docs into one searchable place
  • Communities running public wikis (alternative to Fandom/MediaWiki)
  • Privacy-conscious orgs keeping docs self-hosted

Why teams pick Wiki.js over alternatives

  • AGPL-3.0 — open-source, no enterprise gating
  • Modern UX — fast SPA, real-time preview, no jarring full-page reloads
  • Markdown + Visual + WYSIWYG — three editing modes for different writers
  • 50+ auth strategies — local, OAuth (GitHub/Google/Microsoft), LDAP, SAML, OIDC
  • Storage modules — local, Git, S3, Box, Dropbox for content sync/backup
  • Active 3.x development — major rewrite incoming with better performance

Integrations

  • Git sync — bidirectional sync with GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket
  • Search providers — built-in, ElasticSearch, Algolia, AWS, Azure
  • Auth — 50+ providers via OAuth/OIDC/SAML/LDAP/local
  • Notifications — Slack, Discord, Telegram, email
  • Analytics — Google Analytics, Matomo, Plausible compatible
  • Storage — S3, Box, Dropbox, Disk for asset/content backup

Notable users & community

  • 25k+ GitHub stars
  • Powers public wikis at Mozilla, Open Source projects
  • Active Discord with 5k+ members
  • Plugin ecosystem with 30+ integrations
  • 3.x major version in development (Vue + GraphQL rewrite)

Tips & operations

  • Use Postgres — SQLite works for single-user, Postgres needed for teams
  • First admin = first user — register first to claim admin
  • Storage module setup early — enable Git sync before bulk content imports
  • HTTPS in production — needed for OAuth callbacks and modern features
  • Backup = postgres + content — DB has page content; storage modules add redundancy
  • Locale support — 50+ languages; set default in admin
