I’m looking for a wiki solution (either remotely hosted or self-hosted is fine) that takes Markdown input.
Thanks.
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

I use Silicon Notes; While it has ‘Notes’ in the title, it’s just a lightweight markdown based wiki
Dokuwiki has a plugin that lets you use markdown instead of their proprietary markup.
+1 Dokuwiki. It is a little complicated than most to configure the first time, but once you have everything running, it will work without complaints. Also, the whole wiki is stored as plain text files, which is awesome for backups.
piling on for Dokuwiki. Have been running it personally and for an org (2 different wikis) for like 7 or 8 years. No problems, and it’s own syntax is pretty easy too. I’ve migrated a few times too and love that it’s just plain text files
I’m currently hosting a wiki.js
you can either use markdown or a visual editor
My only gripe with wiki.js was the use of SQL for local storage. My wiki must be future proof and locking myself in an obscure SQL database was the deal breaker. I know that you can sync with a Git repo, but it felt like an overkill.
Obsidian, of course.
It’s not selfhosted.
