I used dokuwiki extensively over the years to manage projects, organize data, and build public web pages now and then. It’s been a pleasure to use.
Cool, would you care to share some of your favorites?
Andreas’ “gallery” plugin was a great way to share my photos. I believe I tweaked the code to read exif data from the jpegs to extract the comment/description and display it as a caption.
“Graphviz” was also wonderful for generating flowcharts and organization charts for my work.
My present website runs on dokuwiki, though it’s pretty bare bones and not doing anything fancy. Just an English-Japanese bilingual setup.
It looks fantastic! How did you get it so clean and modern? Bootstrap?
I may have just customized the starter page template and written my own css. It’s not too complicated. I like the simple wiki look more than a full featured website. Heavily inspired by the wonderful website of Inigo Quilez.

Interesting. I like rifling through someone's blog even tho may not have an immediate use for the data contained in the blog. You never know. Might stumble on something that will be useful later on.
Are others running Dokuwiki in production? Would much appreciate suggestions for setting up a nice wiki flow. Right now there is probably a lot of improvements to be made in terms of indexing and otherwise organizing content. I find the plain text syntax takes a while to wrap the brain around since it isn't markdown, but certainly fun to experiment with.
I have just let it grow organically. The front page is an index of various topics from personal things and particular games to household information. Then below that there might be just a page or an index to a bunch of pages often starting just as a list of links. I am often refactoring once a page has a bunch of sub headings of related topics but ultimately now needing multiple pages and replacing the original with the index to those pages. I don't think I could have designed an index system from the start without the content because I wouldn't have known what I was going to store.
Yep, figured it would be fun to hear from others doing similar. Got a number of posts, but just getting to a point where better indexing is important.
Watching the thread because I've recently been toying with the idea of using Dokuwiki as a place to store all my selfhosting notes.
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
