## What is wikijs?

Wiki.js is a powerful, modern, and open-source wiki application built on Node.js. It is designed to be the central knowledge base for your home lab or professional projects, replacing traditional, clunky wiki platforms with a sleek, intuitive interface.

I like it because of the useful Markdown editor that lets you nicely organize
links, code etc. I can also backup the database to my NAS in nice MD files, so
nothing gets lost if something is corrupted.

## Docker Compose Example

```yaml
{{% include "/srv/configs/docker_compose/wikijs/wikijs.yaml" %}}
```
