Without any text it’s really hard to guess what you want and that’s why you get so many different answers.
Do you want to
- host a copy of wikipedia for yourself locally? Then download the database from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download (thanks zygo_histo_morpheus) and the sofware from https://www.mediawiki.org and get going. Both are freely available
- host a site that works like wikipedia but doesn’t contain its content, but your own? Just use MediaWiki.
- host a wiki, but not necessarily the one that powers wikipedia? Then pick one from https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted?tab=readme-ov-file#wikis
Note that I suspect you actually want the third one, in which case I suggest you avoid MediaWiki. Not because it’s bad, but because it’s almost certainly overkill for your use-case and there’s way simpler, easier-to-setup-and-maintain systems with fewer moving parts out there.
I have a the logo of the Wikipedia right in the post, and I explicitly say Wikipedia, not wiki, not a knowledge database 🫣
Atta boy double down.
You are lucky that people are nice, cause due to your petulance I would never help you
What a stupid reply. Expecting free help, but posting more than a logo from google is asking too much.
I try to be positive here on programming.dev but someone gave you an incredibly thoughtful reply and you returned the favor with absolute disrespect. I think the only positive outcome here would be for me to simply block you and encourage others to do the same.
I’m sorry that my attempt to find out what you want to be able to provide useful help annoyed you.
Not annoyed, but many other people understood what I meant, and your suspicion was not correct, although I really used name Wikipedia explicitly (also, the image is PNG, it has word Wikipedia, but Lemmy decided to not show it, but when I was attaching it, it was showing)
Do you have a personality disorder?
Any specific reason to be so rude ?
What?
The software Wikipedia runs on is called Mediawiki. And yes, you can self-host it.
You can self-host the kiwix server in docker and grab .zim files for whoever wiki you want to host. Wikipedia is one of those files.
This is the way! Kiwix website has all the goodies one could want, and can easily download Wikipedia in your language and in different formats. Highly recommend Kiwix! Also comes with Android app, and PC client to read the documents offline.
Oh, oh, oh, this is actually what I wanted, and the other comment that says to download Wikipedia in my language
I didn’t know it’s so easy to import Wikipedia db into a third party knowledge database service
Wikiless?
The original project was taken down by Wikipedia, but this appears to be an active fork of it:
https://github.com/Metastem/wikilessDokuWiki is very simple to get started
mediawiki
https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted
Edit: make sure to check out the different styles otherwise it may look outdated
https://tiddlywiki.com/ could also be an option. Although it’s mostly for notes and such I think.

@[email protected] made a federated wiki project if that’s something that interests you.
