Docker

A docker Wiki.js image is available on Docker Hub:

You can also use a Dockerfile (see example) or Docker Compose (see example) to run Wiki.js.

Demo

Wiki.js documentation site is actually running Wiki.js! Check it out »

We do not provide a demo with write access because of potential security / spam issues. The best way to try it is to install it on your own server / computer. It's easy!
