I need one function in a wiki platform that I haven't seen so far. When I write text, in its WYSIWYG editor, I need an ability to paste in an image (a screenshot that I just grabbed, let's say) and for it to automatically upload it and embed it into text. Does this support something like that?

Just tested it for you.

It seems like they actually support it in Wiki.js however it requires you to first click "insert assets" and once that modal displays [0], you can actually paste into the page and it will be uploaded.

Not too different than JIRA really. But I feel like this feature would be improved if pasting into the editor itself yielded the same result.

This. Thousand times this. I have been waiting for an online wiki with the usability of Apple Notes that I use locally on all my Apple devices. It works like a charm except that I cannot make it public. This is why I often take notes rather than write blog posts on my website. If the wiki software was as easy drag and drop as Apple Notes, I’d just take notes and they turn into publicly available wikis! I am yet to fi…

This seems like it: ImgPaste plugin for DokuWiki

MediaWiki VisualEditor supports it: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/User_guide#...

"You can upload images from a tab in the media dialog, or by dragging and dropping a file into the editor, or by pasting an image from your clipboard. [...] The image will be inserted into the page when you are done."

Since you can write arbitrary JS in extensions, no reason why that couldn't be implemented by a library.

Since I just got into MediaWiki and write my first extension (finally a dark-mode that works), I'll see if this can be implemented. Perhaps with https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Upload.

This is exciting. A compelling FOSS alternative to Atlassian Confluence was sorely needed. Mediawiki has some UX and RBAC challenges that makes it difficult to scale to large organizations.

Since it's AGPL it will probably never end up in the same commercial use cases as Confluence does. Google has some motivations written down from their lawyer department: https://opensource.google/docs/using/agpl-policy/ It boils down to 'not worth the risk, do not use'.

That's not relevant for using wiki.js.

OT, as the sole copyright owner of a web application I wrote, can I license it under the AGPL for the general public, and license it under different terms for clients who would prefer not to use AGPL software (and possibly pay for it) ? is dual licensing allowed by the AGPL ?

If you're the sole copyright owner, you can offer as many different licenses as you want, and no copyleft license can interfere with that.

Yes, you can licence it however you want because you are the copyright holder. See mongodb. IANAL. Licences are to restrict those who do not hold copyright.

That's not how licensing works. If you write the software, you can release it under any license(s) you want. The license states the terms under which you'll let others use the software.

Slightly related PSA:

Everyone should consider running a wiki locally just for yourself. It's like being able to organize your brain. I just got into it two days ago and basically spent the whole weekend dumping things into it in a way I can actually browse and revisit, like the short stories I'd written, spread out across Notes.app and random folders.

You don't need to run WAMP, MySQL, Apache, phpmyadmin or anything. Here are the steps for someone, like me, who hadn't checked in a while:

0. `$ brew install php` (or equiv for your OS)

1. Download the wiki folder and `cd` into it

2. `$ php -S localhost:3000`

3. Visit http://localhost:3000/install.php in your browser

I tried DokuWiki at first (has flat file db which is cool). It's simpler, but I ended up going with MediaWiki which is more powerful, and aside from Wikipedia using it, I noticed most big wikis I use also use it (https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Main_Page). MediaWiki lets you choose Sqlite as an option, so I have one big wiki/ folder sitting in my Dropbox folder symlinked into my iCloud folder and local fs.

Really changing my life right now. The problem with most apps is that they just become append-only dumping grounds where your only organizational power is to, what, create yet another tag?

My advice is to just look for the text files scattered around your computer and note-taking apps and move them into wiki pages. As you make progress, you will notice natural categories/namespaces emerging.

I just wish I started 10 years ago.
