Zim Wiki[1] is amazing as a personal self-hosted wiki. Loads of good official plugins and unofficial. Everything stored as text and organised in folders I think similar to MoinMoin. Supports code highlighting, pasting images, tasks, journal, links (internal and external), back links, version control, etc. Just an all round brilliant piece of software.

- ciprian_craciun 6y agoI've just given Zim Wiki a try, and indeed it seems to be closer to MoinMoin than other alternatives (also in terms of syntax, not only file storage). However there are a couple of rough edges like for example: * the builtin editor doesn't seem to have an option to edit the "raw" markup; it's always in WYSIWYG mode; * according to the documentation [https://zim-wiki.org/manual/Help/Wiki_Syntax.html https://zim-wiki.org/manual/Help/Wiki_Syntax.html] the wiki syntax is quite trivial (nothing bad in that), however it seems to be a strange combination between Markdown and a few other wiki syntaxes; thus migrating to and from Zim would be an issue; (I see that there is an Markdown export option, however just like in case of JPEG this is a lossy conversion, and after a few "rounds" the markup could degrade;) * the builtin web server seems to be quite rudimentary; (perhaps there are plugins out there that solve this;)
- Maha-pudma 6y agoI just use the text editor I've set to open with the Edit Source menu item to edit the raw markup. When I moved over to Zim I just used pandoc to convert my notes, it worked very well with only minor issues, I don't know if pandoc supports moinmoin. I can't comment on the web server. I don't use it sorry.
