A lightweight, file-based wiki application written in Go with a React front-end. It supports markdown editing, page revisions, user authentication, and inline Excalidraw diagrams.

• Page Management: Create, read, update, and delete wiki pages.
• Rich Text Editing: Uses CKEditor for WYSIWYG content editing.
• Revision History: Track changes and revert to previous revisions.
• User Authentication: Secure login, password change, and optional account lockout.
• Excalidraw Diagrams: Draw and embed diagrams directly in pages.
• File-Based Storage: Uses a simple filedb for data storage—no external database required.
• Docker Support: Single-container deployment with static Go binary and built React assets.

• URL: https://demo.wikigo.site/
• Username: admin
• Password: WikiGoAdmin123

Download the latest ZIP for your platform from the Releases page:

# Extract the archive
unzip wikirego-linux-amd64.zip -d wikirego
cd wikirego

# Make the binary executable (Linux/macOS only)
chmod +x wikirego

# Start the server
./wikirego

:: Extract the ZIP, then from the extracted folder:
wikirego.exe

The application will be available at http://localhost:8080

PORT=9090 ./wikirego

TLS_CERT=/path/to/cert.pem TLS_KEY=/path/to/key.pem PORT=443 ./wikirego

When both TLS_CERT and TLS_KEY are set, the server automatically serves HTTPS. If either is missing, the server falls back to plain HTTP.

An official Docker image is available on Docker Hub: dannyswat/wikirego

# Pull the latest image
docker pull dannyswat/wikirego:latest

# Start container (maps port 8080)
docker run -d \
  --name wikirego \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v $(pwd)/server/data:/app/data \
  -v $(pwd)/server/media:/app/media \
  -v $(pwd)/server/conf:/app/conf \
  dannyswat/wikirego:latest

The application will be available at http://localhost:8080

A docker-compose.yml is provided for convenience:

# From project root
docker-compose up -d --build

This will build (if needed) and start the wikirego service, mounting server/data and server/media for persistence.

• Go 1.26.2+
• Node.js 14+ and npm/Yarn
• Git (if using Go modules from VCS)

# From project root
# 1) Build server
cd server
go build -o wikirego.exe ./cmd/web/main.go

# 2) Build client
cd ../client
npm install
npm run build

# 3) Copy client assets into server/public
rm -rf ../server/public/*
cp -r dist/* ../server/public/

# 4) Run the server
cd ../server
./wikirego.exe

The server listens on port 8080 by default. Browse to http://localhost:8080

A simple build.bat script is provided:

cd %~dp0
rmdir /s /q build
mkdir build\data
copy release\* build
mkdir build\public
copy server\public\* build\public
cd server
go build -o ..\build\wikirego.exe
cd ..\client
npm install
npm run build
copy dist\* ..\build\public

Run build.bat and then launch build\wikirego.exe.

The application reads files from:

• Data: data/ (wiki pages, users, and settings)
• Media: media/ (diagram JSON, SVG, and uploads)
• Conf: conf/ (FIDO2 and other configuration)
• Views: views/ (HTML templates)
• Public: public/ (static assets from React build)

All paths are relative to the working directory where the binary is executed. When using Docker, these are mounted as volumes (see above).

Set TLS_CERT and TLS_KEY to the paths of your certificate and private key files to enable HTTPS. When only one variable is set (or neither), the server starts in plain HTTP mode.

TLS_CERT=./cert.pem TLS_KEY=./key.pem PORT=443 ./wikirego
