XWiki is a free wiki software platform written in Java with a design emphasis on extensibility. XWiki is an enterprise wiki. It includes WYSIWYG editing, OpenDocument based document import/export, semantic annotations and tagging, and advanced permissions management. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install XWiki on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.
This guide works perfectly with the latest XWiki 16.9.0 release.
