Alternative to Notion, Confluence

Wiki.js is a modern wiki engine with a powerful feature set and clean interface. Built around Markdown editing and Git-based version control, it is optimized for technical documentation management.

  • Multiple editors — switch between Markdown, WYSIWYG, and raw code editing modes
  • Git synchronization — bidirectional sync with GitHub and GitLab for automated versioning
  • Full-text search with support for Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL FTS, and SQLite
  • Multilingual interface in 50+ languages with content localization management
  • Authentication integration for LDAP, SAML, OAuth2, and OpenID Connect
  • Path-based page rules for granular access control and permissions

Built on Node.js and Vue with PostgreSQL or SQLite backends, Wiki.js is easily self-hosted via Docker. It provides a modern, performant alternative to Confluence for teams needing structured documentation.
