Instiki

Instiki is a wiki clone so pretty and easy to set up, you'll wonder if it’s really a wiki. Runs on Rails and focuses on portability and stability. Supports file uploads, PDF export, RSS, multiple users and password protection. Some use Instiki as a CMS (Content Management System) because of its ability to export static pages.

Instiki lowers the barriers of interest for when you might consider using a wiki. It's so simple to get running that you'll find yourself using it for anything -- taking notes, brainstorming, organizing a gathering.

Supported Platforms

Instiki only requires a working Ruby installation (it includes all other dependencies). Any OS that can run Ruby can run Instiki - that includes Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and most known Unix flavors.

3 easy Steps to get the Instiki experience

Step 1. Get Instiki and run "ruby bundle install --path vendor/bundle" Step 2. Run "instiki" Step 3. Chuckle... "There's no step three!" (TM)

Details

You need at least Ruby Version 2.0 installed on your System. Instiki is known to work well with Ruby 2.0-2.6. The second dependency is a Database System, but don't worry, the default sqlite3 will be installed for you, if it's not already installed. You can also use any other database system (MySQL, PostgreSQL, ...) supported by Rails.

Deploy to Heroku

Any other System

You're now running a perfectly suitable wiki on port 2500 that'll present you with one-step setup, followed by a textarea for the home page on http://localhost:2500
