MediaWiki. Is there something wrong with the solution powering Wikipedia? It’s very simple to set up, and you can one-click deploy it on DigitalOcean for $10/month.





I gave MediaWiki a shot just now but it's seriously lacking Markdown support. Seems that there's a plugin for it but that's a no-go in the docker setup, would need to make my own container because it depends on some php package that doesn't come in the default image. Really a shame the docker setup isn't made to be extensions friendly.

MediaWiki doesn't have full WYSIWYG. The Visual Editor is nice, but doesn't support templates.

What do you mean by this? You can use templates when editing pages with mediawiki's visual editor.

You're right. I was going to tell you about what a nightmare infoboxes are, but my experience is clearly out of date. I guess I'm used to a large public failure killing a project. I'm extremely impressed by the experience now and I shouldn't have commented without looking into it more.
