Simplest For End User Wiki/Knowlege Repo for the end user (lemmy.world)

I am trying to set up a repository of knowledge for my job. Was thinking a wiki, but I need something that I can make as simple as possible for the end user, as some of them are not familiar with markdown or html. Is there a self hosted option that is dumb easy simple to navigate and edit for the end user?

I chose Bookstack for the same situation. It's dead simple in usage and maintenance. No issues yet!

Wiki.js is pretty simple and the solution I settled for after testing multiple options. Other examples can be found here: awesome-selfhosted

Saw everything on awesome-selfhosted, just wasn’t sure which out of the plethora of options out there was the easiest for the end user.

I recently tested the most recommended wiki software and I settled on Wiki.js. Trivial to setup with docker-compose. It stores everything in its database but can continually dump it in various formats and places. I have it dump to the local filesystem. It spits out Markdown files. It can run on SQLite but it defaults to Postgres which provides better search. It's got simple RBAC too.

This was the first one I set up. I enjoy it, but I need to see if someone who only knows how to use gmail can operate it.

I taught my users markdown with StackEdit, a side-by-side WYSIWYG / Markdown generator. It opened some doors for us in terms of the tech we could use behind the scenes.

Something like docuwiki maybe, it looks like Wikipedia so everyone would immediately feel at home there.

I will spin one of those up. Thank you for the suggestion.
