Gollum

Every wiki page lives as a plain-text file in a standard Git repository, giving you full version history, branching, merging, and the freedom to edit with any text editor or IDE alongside the web interface. Originally built by GitHub's founders as the engine behind GitHub's own wiki feature, Gollum supports Markdown, AsciiDoc, reStructuredText, Org-mode, Textile, MediaWiki, Creole, and Pod markup formats with live preview rendering as you type. PlantUML and Mermaid diagrams render inline for architecture documentation, MathJax handles mathematical notation, and BibTeX integration via Pandoc provides academic citation management. YAML frontmatter controls per-page sidebars, headers, footers, and table of contents generation. CriticMarkup annotations enable editorial review workflows with tracked insertions, deletions, substitutions, and comments. Macros extend pages with dynamic content injection, file includes, and navigation helpers. The wiki maintains compatibility with GitHub and GitLab wiki repositories, so teams can clone existing platform wikis for local editing and offline access. The official Docker image at gollumwiki/gollum exposes port 4567 with volume-mounted repositories, requiring roughly 170 MB of container storage and minimal RAM. Authentication integrates via OmniAuth supporting GitHub, GitLab, Google, and other OAuth providers. Over 14,300 stars on GitHub since 2009. MIT licensed.

Arkon

With 1,200+ GitHub stars since its April 2026 launch, Arkon provides an enterprise-grade knowledge management layer that turns scattered organizational documentation into AI-accessible structured context. The platform runs as a centralized MCP server, compiling your SOPs, policies, technical docs, and institutional knowledge into a versioned wiki with draft-approval workflows, then serving that wiki to Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client through a single permission-scoped endpoint. OAuth 2.1 with PKCE authentication eliminates manual token management — employees authenticate through a browser login while the system discovers endpoints automatically via RFC 8414. The RBAC v2 system supports custom roles with granular permissions, department-scoped AI Skills, workspace isolation, and comprehensive audit logging so every query and access event is traceable. RAG retrieval powered by pgvector embeddings enables AI clients to search across all organizational documents with source attribution, while the AI Skills system lets teams define reusable instruction sets scoped to specific departments or roles. The architecture runs seven Docker containers coordinated by Compose: PostgreSQL with pgvector for embeddings and metadata, Redis for caching, MinIO for document storage, a FastAPI backend, two ARQ async workers for embedding generation and document processing, and a Next.js frontend portal accessible on port 3119. API keys are encrypted at rest with Fernet, and no telemetry leaves the deployment. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. PolyForm Internal Use licensed.

Ties

A federated bookmark manager written in Rust: Ties (formerly linkblocks) is your own small corner of the web for saving, organizing, and sharing good pages, connected to the fediverse over ActivityPub. Instead of rigid folders, bookmarks live in arbitrarily nested lists that link together into a knowledge graph. Saved pages are fetched, converted to a readable archived version, and stored in the database, so full-text search covers titles, URLs, and the actual page text - and the content survives if the original disappears. The federation model is deliberately anti-viral: there is no global timeline and no algorithmic feed. You publish public lists for anyone, follow users whose taste you trust, and mark trusted users whose bookmarks become part of your search range - extendable to trusted-users-of-trusted-users for a wider net. Public bookmarks post to Mastodon timelines, and WebFinger lookup makes your handle discoverable across fediverse platforms. Operationally it is about as light as web software gets: a single binary with all assets baked in, integrated TLS so it can run without a reverse proxy, PostgreSQL as the only dependency, OIDC single sign-on, and a bookmarklet for one-click saves. Note the project is alpha: single-user instances only, and all data should be considered public. AGPL-3.0 licensed, built with Rust and htmx.
