I don't understand why Dokuwiki isn't more popular. It is super easy to use, there are a good bit of themes and plugins that can be installed through the GUI, it loads pictures fine (and has a little picture tracker interface where you can browse uploaded photos), you can use the farmer plugin to multiple seperate wikis on the same website and it doesn't require a database (all the pages just sit in a folder you can copy/backup anyway you like) so it is stupid simple to backup.
I think it is kind of a shame really, Dokuwiki is a beautiful bit of software in my opinion.
- jambutters 4y agoYep, compared to MediaWiki(last time I set it up was like ~7 years ago) it was such a hassle to setup. I think my main complaint about Doku is that it's built on PHP. I haven't tried to hardcore customize things other than installing plugins and templates though so I can't say how easy it is to extend.

- mro_name 4y agopersonally I try to avoid all dependencies (except a mere webserver, naturally) when it comes to reading. I love the dokuwiki no-db filesystem storage approach, however.
