I have a self hosted media server, and I want my family to use it more so I don’t have to do everything for them. I think the best way to do that is to have a wiki available on the local network where they can see a reference of how to use things. What is the best way to accomplish this?

I’m running Ubuntu Server.

    I’m currently running Dokuwiki as a Docker container, which has a built-in editor, good admin web-ui panel, easy ways to add multiple users, and also baked in access control rules so some can edit certain pages. It is also flat-file so no storing plain text in a database, so you can backup and migrate easily.

    There are a lot of alternatives, but Dokuwiki is quite mature, and has that familiar Wiki look that your family might appreciate, rather than it looking like boring/corporate software documentation.
