I have a self hosted media server, and I want my family to use it more so I don’t have to do everything for them. I think the best way to do that is to have a wiki available on the local network where they can see a reference of how to use things. What is the best way to accomplish this?

I’m running Ubuntu Server.

It really mostly depends on if other family members will need to edit the wiki.

  • If they'll be only reading dokuwiki might be best - even a single frontpage with all the info nedded.
  • If they will be editing then bookstack is way more friendly for non-technical people as is had a full WYSIWYG editor and you don't have to bother with markdown.
