I couldn’t find a usable Wiki solution for my purposes for Home Assistant, so I built one myself — and now I’m sharing it with the community!
What is DokuWiki?
DokuWiki is a simple but powerful wiki that works without a database. It’s perfect for documenting your smart home setup, automations, device configurations, and anything else you want to keep notes on.
Hello, thank you for sharing. I’d love to run a dokuwiki instance for my HA setup.
I couldn’t install the add-on. I’m running HAOS on home assistant green.
Here are the logs from the supervisor :
