ikiwiki vs LocalWiki

ikiwiki is free, open-source software that compiles wiki pages into HTML for publication as a website. It builds a static site and regenerates pages when their source changes. Page history can be kept in Git, Subversion, or another revision-control setup, although a revision system is optional. Markdown is the default markup, while plugins can add WikiText, HTML, reStructuredText, and Textile. Any page can function as a blog and produce RSS or Atom feeds. Plugins provide much of the system, including markup, directives, revision-control backends, and CGI capabilities. Templates, CSS, and themes control generated appearance. Optional web editing supports registration, several authentication methods, and configurable edit permissions. Xapian can add full-text search. Packages are listed for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, BSD, openSUSE, Arch, Homebrew, and Guix. ikiwiki supports Linux, macOS, self-hosting, and web use, with custom domains, SSO, and version history listed.
