info Overview

Wiki.js is a powerful, modern open-source wiki and knowledge base built on Node.js — a self-hosted alternative to Confluence and Notion for teams, documentation and internal knowledge. It pairs a beautiful WYSIWYG and Markdown editor with full-text search, page versioning and history, granular access control and a clean, fast interface your whole team can use.

Wiki.js stores your content in a database and can optionally sync to Git, supports multiple languages, custom themes and pluggable authentication modules — all on infrastructure you own. Valebyte deploys the full stack (the Wiki.js app plus its PostgreSQL database) for you: one click, automatic HTTPS, your documentation on your own server.

quiz Frequently Asked Questions

Is Wiki.js a good self-hosted Confluence or Notion alternative? expand_more

Yes. Wiki.js gives you a modern team wiki with a WYSIWYG and Markdown editor, versioning, search and access control — a Confluence or Notion-style knowledge base, self-hosted on your own server with full data ownership.

Does it come with a database? expand_more

Yes. Valebyte deploys the complete stack — the Wiki.js app together with its own PostgreSQL database — automatically, so there is nothing extra to set up.

How do I set up the admin? expand_more

On your first visit Wiki.js walks you through creating the administrator account — you choose the admin email and password on the setup screen. There is no preset password.

How long does deployment take? expand_more

A few minutes. Valebyte pulls the Wiki.js and PostgreSQL images, wires them together, issues an HTTPS certificate and starts them, then you complete the first-run admin setup.

Does it support Markdown and a visual editor? expand_more

Yes. Wiki.js offers a rich WYSIWYG visual editor alongside a full Markdown editor, so writers can use whichever they prefer, with live preview and versioned history.

Is our knowledge base private? expand_more

Yes. All pages, files and user accounts live on your own VPS and are never shared with a third party. You own the server and the data on it.
