Wiki

Modern, lightweight and powerful wiki app built on Node.js, Angular, Git and Markdown

Description

Wiki is a fast and reliable web application to store and share knowledge. Documents are stored in a mongodb for fast access and queries. Additional for each document a markdown file is created and stored in the repo directory. For this directory the administrator can initiliaize a git backup. That pushs all the files to the configured git repository for backup.

Install

Docker-Compose

4. Run docker-compose up

You may run into some problems because the mongodb and the elasticsearch cluster took too long to start and the wiki-server can't connect. To resolve this issue, run the following two commands to start: docker-compose up wiki-es01 wiki-es02 wiki-mongodb docker-compose up wiki-app wiki-server

Usage

During the initial setup the default user [email protected] with the password admin123 will be created.
