## What it is
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
