DokuWiki is an open source wiki application licensed under GPLv2 and written in the PHP programming language. It works on plain text files and thus does not need a database. Its syntax is similar to the one used by MediaWiki.[3] It is often recommended as a more lightweight, easier to customize alternative to MediaWiki.[4] The 'Doku' in DokuWiki is short for Dokumentation which in German means documentation.[a]
Because DokuWiki does not require a database, it can be installed on local PCs, flash drives, and folders synced with file hosting services or file synchronization programs such as Dropbox or Syncthing.[5]
