Private documentations for developer

chiccorosso

Hello,
I need a simple software for documentation where I can give access (username and password) for read it. Of course who is interest, can send me a request with a simple form.
What type of system did you suggest?
Need selfhosted and possible free.

Probably some from

Reverse proxy infront for authentication of required?

I have never personally use any of them for more than testing purposes but generally they're great.

BookStack good as well

Just use any documentation or wiki static site but put the site behind NGINX reverse proxy with a basic auth: https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/security-controls/configuring-http-basic-authentication/

I recommend dokuwiki.

dependencies are minimal, its easy to update, and the ui is pretty usable.

js.wiki
Really good, Markdown/WYSIWYG, with a decent non-complicated permission system.
I use it on docker behind Traefik. never failed me.

If you need help installing it, I can help anytime.
