Mycorrhiza Wiki

Self-Hosted

Open-source, file-based wiki engine with Markdown and backlinks

Overview

Mycorrhiza Wiki is a lightweight, self-hosted wiki engine that stores content as plain Markdown files—no databases needed. It supports backlinks, tags, and custom CSS for styling, making it ideal for personal knowledge bases or small teams. Deployment is simple: run as a single binary (no dependencies) on Linux, macOS, or Windows, or use Docker. Integrates with Git for version control, allowing collaborative edits via Git workflows. Backups are easy since files are plain text, and it prioritizes speed and minimalism over complex enterprise features.
