About DokuWiki

DokuWiki is a simple to use and highly versatile open-source wiki software that doesn't require a database. It is loved by developers, system administrators, and corporate teams for its clean and readable syntax, ease of maintenance, and powerful built-in access controls.

Why DokuWiki Stands Out

  • Zero Database Dependencies: All articles, revisions, and configurations live in readable text files on disk.
  • Human-Readable File Format: Easily read, edit, or backup pages with standard Unix tools (grep, sed, rsync, git).
  • Low System Requirements: Blazing fast execution with negligible CPU and memory consumption.
  • Enterprise Authentication Ready: Native connectors for Active Directory, OpenLDAP, SAML, and OAuth2.

DokuWiki Technologies

  • PHP 8.2+ Engine: High-performance PHP execution with OPcache acceleration.
  • Plain-File Storage Backend: Standard UTF-8 text files stored in directory trees mapping directly to namespaces.
  • Fast File Indexer: Inverted index generator for rapid keyword lookups across page contents.
  • Modular Plugin Framework: Event-driven architecture with hundreds of active community addons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does DokuWiki not require a database?
DokuWiki stores all wiki pages as plain text files organized in directories on disk. This eliminates database maintenance, prevents SQL injection vulnerabilities, and makes backups as simple as copying files.
Can I connect DokuWiki to our company LDAP or Active Directory?
Yes! DokuWiki includes built-in authentication backends for LDAP, Active Directory, and OAuth2, allowing team members to log in with their corporate credentials.
Can I install plugins and custom themes?
Yes! You can install plugins and responsive templates directly from the Extension Manager inside your admin dashboard.
Can I export wiki pages to PDF or Word?
Yes! By installing popular export plugins (such as dw2pdf), you can export any wiki page or entire namespace as styled PDF documents.
How are automated backups handled?
SiliconPin takes daily snapshots of your wiki filesystem with 30-day retention and one-click rollback from your management console.
