I'm trying to find a simple wiki like script to setup a personal directory, browser favorites simply doesn't do anymore and i have lots of small files on my flash drive

Desired features

  • file upload
  • not bloated
  • works on a common webhost (aka php)

Thanks in advance

Google Sites functions as a Wiki, and you don't have to make your site public. You can upload files, but there's a 100MB limit for a site. The big advantage here (IMO) is the fact that you don't have to worry about setting up hosting at all.

It has a WYSIWYG editor, so that's a minus if you're really into some particular Wiki syntax, I guess.

Another (non-hosted) option would be TiddlyWiki, which is completely implemented in Javascript and meant to be used on a USB drive, primarily.

I recommend Dokuwiki. Uses text files instead of a database.

Dokuwiki is one of the easiest solutions. We use it for our knowledgebase at work, works like a charm (and on the plus side you can take a copy of it with you on a USB stick because everything is stored in TXT files).

doku is a great wiki, but bloated for this kind of usage :/

@arthurprs What about this one? It probably doesn't accept file upload...it's in Javascript: http://www.tiddlywiki.com/

I need to access it on the web :( ... I'm giving up on this

Docuwiki is installed on a PHP server! It IS on the web!

A couple of people have recommended Tiddlywiki. I've used it for a simple wiki setup... It's nice, fast, and easy.

You mentioned the need for web-access... Tiddlywiki combined with TiddlyHome is what I use for a simple, single-html-page wiki, which can be used both offline and online...

Another possibility is to get it hosted with http://tiddlyspot.com/

Checkout LionWiki - http://lionwiki.0o.cz

It works from just one file and it's dead simple.
