What is Wiki.js?

Wiki.js is a documentation platform with Markdown and visual editors, a navigable page tree, full-text search and per-page permissions.

It can store its content in a Git repository, which means your documentation has a reviewable history and is not trapped inside a database.

What you get

  • Markdown, visual and code editors with live preview
  • Optional Git storage, so pages are versioned and portable
  • Full-text search, tags and a navigable page tree
  • Authentication with local accounts, LDAP, SAML or OAuth, and per-page rules

Running Wiki.js on Autogineer Cloud

Wiki.js is a one-click install here: choose it at checkout, set a root password, and the server is built, the software installed and configured, and published on its own HTTPS address — usually in about a minute, with the whole build streamed to your browser as it runs.

  • Installed and configured, not just downloaded. The build finishes only once Wiki.js is answering on its port with a real page — a server that could not finish is reported as failed rather than handed over looking complete.
  • A working HTTPS address from the first minute. Your server is published at an address like wikijs-vps.autogineer.com, with a valid certificate, so webhooks and OAuth callbacks work immediately. Your own domain can be added afterwards.
  • Full root over SSH. The one-click install is a starting point, not a cage: you can reconfigure Wiki.js, install anything beside it, or replace it entirely.
  • Backups you can restore from. On-demand backups of the whole server on every paid plan, which for Wiki.js means its data as well as its configuration.
  • Room to grow. Resize the plan as Wiki.js grows, or rebuild the same server with a different app when the project changes.

Who it suits

Teams who need internal documentation with real permissions and a history they can audit.

Getting started with Wiki.js

  1. When the build finishes, your server's page in the dashboard shows its HTTPS address, its root password and any sign-in details the installer set for Wiki.js. The build console streams every step as it happens, so you can see exactly what was installed rather than taking it on trust.
  2. The setup screen creates the administrator account and asks which storage to use — choose Git if you want your pages versioned outside the database. Then create the home page.
  3. Add your own domain from the same page when you are ready: point a DNS record at the server and the certificate is issued for you. The original address keeps working, so nothing you configured against it breaks.
  4. Take a backup once Wiki.js is configured the way you want it. A backup captures the whole server, so restoring one brings back Wiki.js and its data together — and it is the only thing that will bring them back.

Frequently asked questions

Can I keep the content in Git?

Yes. Wiki.js can sync pages to a Git repository in both directions, which also gives you an off-server copy.

Is it a good Confluence replacement?

For documentation, largely yes, and it is considerably lighter to run. It is not a full project-management suite.

How long does it take to install Wiki.js?

About a minute. Choosing Wiki.js at checkout builds the server, installs it, and publishes it on an HTTPS address, streaming the progress to your browser as it happens.

What size server does Wiki.js need?

At least 1 vCPU, 1.5 GB of memory and 15 GB of disk, which is the Starter plan or larger. These are the figures the installer is tested against rather than the smallest configuration that will boot.

Do I get root access to the server?

Yes. Every server includes full root access over SSH on its own port, so you can configure, extend or replace anything the one-click installer set up.

Can I use my own domain with Wiki.js?

Yes. Each server is published on its own HTTPS address the moment it is built — wikijs-vps.autogineer.com for example, and you can point your own domain at it afterwards from the dashboard.
