Gollum Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Can Git or any other VCS be used as a database instead of SQL/NoSQL ones? Have you ever seen such a thing?

  Arguably something like ikiwiki or gollum is doing this. These are both wikis that use git as their backend 'database'. I happen to like wikis like this a lot better over wikis that store their data in mysql or some other traditional SQL backend. Source: 6 months ago

• Looking for notion/jira alternatives (self-hosted) (JavaScript free)

  Gollum is self-hosted and uses git for version control Https://github.com/gollum/gollum. Source: 6 months ago

• Atlassian prepares to abandon on-prem server products

  For something quick and easy consider https://github.com/gollum/gollum#markups which powers Github Wikis. Note that multi-user auth is NOT supported out of the box however. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Hermes, an Open Source Document Management System

  That seems something in the ballpark of my favorite wiki software: https://github.com/gollum/gollum Edit and view pages as a normal markdown wiki. But the backend is just a git repository of markdown files so you can also just use your text editor and git pull/push. Usable by any novice but with the ideal power user interface. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Simple personal knowledgebase

  I'm currently using Gollum Wiki in this way. It reads from a git repository, formats the markdown files nicely, and has a limited editor that is useful in a pinch. Source: over 1 year ago

• What’s the prettiest yet most lightweight self-hosted wiki service out there?

  I use Gollum, it's very simple but fits my needs. Source: over 1 year ago

• Looking for the best self-hosted Markdown notes setup with web acces

  Gollum would be an excellent solution. It's a web interface to a directory of markdown (or other formats), backed by git. Easy to sync the plain text files on your own devices (e.g. Syncthing) while still having a public web interface for school/work computers. Source: over 1 year ago

• Any zk like app that can run on a web server?

  Gollum could meet the need. Logseq might work as well; here's a potential guide to self-hosting. Source: over 1 year ago

• Simple selfhosted note taking

  I use ikiwiki, but I have also seen gollum mentioned here. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Looking for a simple wiki (web, not desktop) that stores backend as markdown files?

  Gollum might be something worth looking into. It is basically a clone of the GitHub Wiki pages, built on top of git (so it uses version-controlled flat files as backend). Source: almost 2 years ago

• Looking for a simple wiki (web, not desktop) that stores backend as markdown files?

  Gollum wiki fits the description, with git and a satisfying look and feel to boot. Source: almost 2 years ago

• VSCode – Markdown Edition

  I’ve settled on similar setup. One nice thing about is there many tools that can work on this type of note setup, so you are not locked into one tool. Working Copy works decently well on iOS. Gollum [1] on desktop operating systems provides a web interface to the notes. For some shameless self-promotion, I’ve been hacking on a clone of Gollum called Smeagol [2]. It is written in Rust so it is quite a bit faster to... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• What are GNU/linux tools or programs which can serve as alternative for notion?

  However, if you are using a gui, you can use vimwiki and gollum together. Gollum is a web wiki. Source: about 2 years ago

• Write Plain Text Files

  Another advantage layers on the source control: many source code management services will render your markdown and give you a search interface. GitHub popularized it. But other hosts like Azure Devops and GitLab support this as well. You can make a relatively pleasant document management system on top of this. You can even run this on your own computer without an internet connection. Working Copy on iOS supports.... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: How do you manage your companies knowledge base?

  I just spent some time looking at this. There's no reason you can't use Obsidian with git. Obsidian just saves md files in a basic folder structure. You can git init in the root of your Obsidian vault directory (.gitignore your .obsidian folder). There's even an "Obsidian Git" community plugin that does the git work for you. To serve your md files as a traditional wiki in browsers, there's a git backed wiki named... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Snippet Box - selfhosted and open source code snippet manager with built-in support for Markdown documentation

  Instead of SQLite I would prefer if you stored the snippets in a git repo like Gollum or Gitit. Source: over 2 years ago

• Does you guys use vim for planning/todos/journals?

  I use Gollum for my note-taking and planning, and that lets me edit everything in Vim, use git for version control, and use any of a number of standard markup languages that have good Vim support. Source: about 3 years ago

• Is there any free program that I can use to create a local wiki for my world on my computer?
