Synology: Install DokuWiki With Portainer

by

Synology Install DokuWiki With Portainer

MyĀ previous guide for DokuWiki involved the use of Task Scheduler. Today Iā€™m offering a recommended and excellent alternative for installing the latest DokuWiki version via Portainer. Dokuwiki is a simple to use and highly versatile Open Source wiki software that doesn’t require a database. It is loved by users for its clean and readable syntax. The ease of maintenance, backup and integration makes it an administrator’s favorite. Built in access controls and authentication connectors make DokuWiki especially useful in the enterprise context, and the large number of plugins contributed by its vibrant community allow for a broad range of use cases beyond a traditional wiki. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install DokuWiki on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

šŸ’”Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest DokuWiki 2024.02.06Ā release.
