LeafWiki is a self-hosted wiki application shipped as a single Go binary that stores content as Markdown files on disk with SQLite, requiring no external database or runtime dependencies. It offers a live side-by-side Markdown editor, Obsidian-compatible [[wikilinks]], multiple access modes, and reverse-proxy authentication support.

Use cases

• self-host a lightweight wiki for homelab documentation
• store team runbooks and onboarding guides in markdown files
• replace heavy wiki software like Wiki.js or Outline with a single binary
• serve a personal knowledge base with wikilink support
• back up documentation by copying a folder
• host internal docs without running Postgres or Redis

When to choose

• you want a wiki with zero external database dependencies
• you prefer Markdown files readable and editable outside the app
• you run a small team, homelab, or personal knowledge base
• you use Obsidian and want server-side hosting with [[wikilinks]]
• you want simple backup via file copy

When to avoid

• you need real-time collaborative editing
• you need an all-in-one workspace like Notion or Confluence
• you need approval workflows or automations
• you have a large organization with complex permission requirements
