In the IT world you can’t just remember everything you ever do, so you need a way to set a trail of what you do. Some people write journals and some (me included) write their documentation in a wiki.

Wiki today means Wikipedia, Wikipedia runs MediaWiki software which is a huge piece of software. In order to run it you need a database server and maintenance from time to time.

What I propose you today is docuwiki which is a small footprint wiki. I suppose you already have a webserver with a running php instance.

Installation is very easy, just download your wiki software:

wget https://download.dokuwiki.org/src/dokuwiki/dokuwiki-rc.tgz

and unpack it:

tar xzvf dokuwiki-rc.tgz mv dokuwiki-rc-2020-06-09/ dokuwiki

Then point your browser to the folder you unpacked it into and run the installer

Your new wiki is ready. You can start writing your pages
