I have a little side business of doing minor repairs on phones and tablets and such.
I was wanting to host a wiki on my network with ifixit guides for the common devices I work on just in case my internet access goes out.
I host a lot already but I'm not sure how to go about getting the data to upload to the wiki?
Has anyone else done a similar thing?

Why not contributing the guides on ifixit and just keeping local copies? You can at least save a pdf copy?
How often will your internet go out? You could also cosnider an archiving solution for visited pages. Archivebox comes to mind.

Don't Louis Rossmann launched a repair wiki a while back?
Anyway, mediawiki wikis have a special page that lets you dump the wiki's contents for migration purposes, but I forgot whether it's locked to admins only.
Edit: here's a publicly accessible export page: https://repair.wiki/w/Special:Export

I use Doku at work and can attest that it is easy to use and works very well. Even for industrial applications.

I agree. Doku is incredibly easy and extensible. And it doesn't need a database.

I recommend using Kiwix, https://kiwix.org/en/
They already have a monthly archive of ifixit available: https://library.kiwix.org/viewer#ifixit_en_all_2023-10/home/home
There are tons of other offline resources available for Kiwix as well https://library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng
