What software do you use for your wiki?
3 comments

I use TiddlyWiki (https://tiddlywiki.com). It's brilliantly simple to set up (doesn't require a database for example), has a small but nice plugin ecosystem with things like Markdown support, etc.
I'm not currently using a personal wiki, but both MediaWiki and Confluence are pretty easy to set up. Confluence/Jira licenses are cheap for self-hosted personal use. MediaWiki is oss and probably not going anywhere anytime soon.
I second Mediawiki. I prefer that for professional use:

Personally, I've been using WikkaWiki for years:

https://github.com/bakoontz/WikkaWiki

I would prefer something that supports markdown. Neither of these really do.

Dokuwiki is what I use. Easy to setup, easy to use. And with Dokuwiki on a stick there is a zero-installation, portable local option.
