How to Set Up Wiki.js and Have Your Own Wiki in Minutes
1 min read
Summary
Wiki.js is an open-source wiki platform that offers version control, authentication options and support for Markdown and WYSIWYG editing.
It can be set up with Docker and Docker Compose, which allows for easier deployment and management of the platform.
The process begins by creating a directory named “wikijs-docker” and navigating to it using the cd command.
Subsequently, a docker-compose.yml file is created in a text editor and the following content is pasted into it: this sets up a PostgreSQL database and launches a wiki instance that relies on the database.
The file is then saved and the containers are started using the command docker compose up -d.
After the setup is complete, wiki.js can be accessed in a browser and the admin account details can be specified before clicking on the “Install” button to begin the installation.
Finally, the dashboard can be accessed where you can create a home page, manage and organize content, and manage groups and users.
