Looking for a good wiki based off of a git repo

Currently I have random docs/how-tos for my network stored in a forgejo repo, just a bunch of READMEs. I'd like to somehow make that a bit more official, I like writing it in markdown/git and having source control, but was wondering if anyone has a good wiki tool they like that can consume that and make it more hostable? Thanks!

Forgejo has a built in wiki capability.

I just use that, with configs in the repo.

Also, if you do it right, I’m pretty sure you can cross-link your git repo’s markdown files without using the built in wiki.

This makes it a lot more portable if you want to update the wiki in your favorite text editor.

I've had this in my homelab for months and had no idea. Thanks.

Any idea if it will render Mermaid diagrams correctly?

As well as any other mermaid renderers I've seen. Which is to say it works, but has the same drawbacks for diagrams I've seen everywhere else with mermaid.

Otterwiki is great for that.

This looks great! Thank you for the recommendation!

I use https://mycorrhiza.wiki/. It is really lightweight and stores data in a git repo. So it is terribly easy to export and backup it. the only drawback is that it uses its own markdown dialect

I have markdown files in a git repo and run mdbook via cicd so I get a nice html build. Localy I can build it too or just use the markdown files (except for mdbook specific features such as preprocessors).
