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

- Powers public wikis at Mozilla, Open Source projects
- Active Discord with 5k+ members
- Plugin ecosystem with 30+ integrations

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
