About WikiDocs

WikiDocs is a databaseless wiki engine that stores content as plain Markdown flat files, so documentation stays portable, easy to back up and friendly to version control. It runs on PHP, can be deployed with Docker, and presents pages through a clean web interface with user accounts. Released under MIT, it suits small teams and individuals who want a lightweight self-hosted wiki or documentation site without database administration.
