I would love to see a video on setting page and folder permissions with groups. And if there is any way to get groups from external authentication sources like Discord, Google or LDAP.
You're right. Especially the permissions system is a bit tricky. When I have time I will make a video. Authentication sources also very interesting but I don't know yet if I will be able to cover that as well.
Can you suggest reading or video on how to customize the logo and login background. I can not get them to work using the postsql. Hosting on Unraid using the latest Wikijs version
Do you have to manually manage media files, or does the application manage them for you? ie can I just copy / paste an image into a document and not worry about where or how it is stored?
@@junicast_tech I would like to use wiki.js to make technical documentation within my team. We use GitLab which already has an integrated wiki but I would prefer to use wiki.js. So I was wondering if it was possible to integrate wiki.js to GitLab to replace the already present wiki.
@@juliepaparin4299 AFAIK it's not possible to integrate wiki.js into gitlab in such way. Anyhow you can just link to wik.js when it comes to documentation. I do that for my ansible collections as well. wiki.junicast.de/de/junicast/docs/AnsibleOpenWrtCollection
Thank you for the Video junicast! As a non-technical person I would love to have a setup video for mac. Also can you use wiki js as a company wiki, meaning adding more and more people to the platform?
It's ideal for a company env. Users and groups can be added. You can also use LDAP or other User/Group backends. I have no Mac, so I will not be able to make a video about that. Here's a link to the docs: docs.requarks.io/install/macos
@@junicast_tech Finally managed it to download locally but get the error code EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/Users' now. Do you know why and is this basically a wonderful tool to build anything on top, is this here actually to the whole infrastructure for a management or note-taking tool?
@@marcosummer6262 Sounds like a file permissions problem. The directory where wikijs is located need adjusted owner/group and permissions set. But that's only a guess.
This is great, thank you! Are we able to change the order of folders or do they default to alphabetical order? (on the left hand tool bar) Example: in your video - move Folder2 above Folder1
Thanks a lot for this really interesting and insightful talk. As a long Semantic MediaWiki user, I really appreciate extensions such as PageForms etc. Are there any plans to include such an extension as well? Furthermore, are there any plans to incorporate semantic data modelling primitives such as properties, concepts, categories to incorporate data in the form of knowledge graphs in wiki.js?
@@junicast_tech Thank you very much for the pointer and the information. Page Forms is a really useful extension in MediaWiki systems as they help in creating compliant data and reduce the "semantic drift".
Hey! Thanks for the great overview. My company is wanting me to find a solution for a 'handbook' and we were previously using Notion, but it's not up to snuff in terms of password protection. After trying this out, would you say that this could be a good solution in that regard?
Thanks! Is it possible to implement a P2P third-system for documents like Swooki or Newbound Network? And personal wikis (like in TWiki) connected to a broad main community wiki?
First you need to choose a different option for the navigation menu, i.e.: Administration - Navigation. Use either Static Navigation or Custom Navigation. My tutorial makes use of the Site Tree method. See also: docs.requarks.io/en/navigation
I hate WIki JS :c. On my company im working to change it. Is has an Old interface, login is broke, search is not good, if you want to use it, you shold develop a lot of thinkgs to make it good usable. The final HTML is strange and difficult to create some automation using web scraping
Judging by this video, it's not even a proper wiki. Articles should *not* be organized in a hierarchy, and you should be able to link to articles that don't (yet) exist. This is how Wikipedia has always done it, and it makes all the difference. In fact, try to have a look at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ViperCraftGamer, and you'll see an example of what I mean (it will serve up a page explaining that this aricle does not (yet) exist, and explain that you need to be signed in to create it, but if you were signed in, it would allow you to edit it right away). The normal way to build out the wiki isn't to add new articles that nothing links to though, it is to edit an existing page, use links to existing and new (like [ViperCraftGamer] in this example) articles from there, and then the links to articles that don't exist are simply shown in red, and users can create them by clicking them.... I don't understand why others who have created wikis seem to have spent so little time learning about how the world's far and away most successful wiki implementation works. MediaWiki also has many other brilliant features, for example "talk pages" to keep discussion about article content separate from the article itself, version history, various levels of article protection (not everything is editable by everyone), and more.
I so appreciate intelligent people; thank you! I was looking for a simple overview, and you nailed it.
Thanks for this very good introduction to WikiJS enviroment.
Thank you for this tour of this great tool.
Thank you for the overview! Very insightful
Fantastic video. Clear and concise.
Thanks! Very helpful video for a first impression
awesome n thanks for ur expertise! XP
Great overview thanks for your work

What are your plans? You can use git a a storage backend in wikijs.

I guess you're using Site-Tree Navigation Mode. As far as I know in this mode it's not possible. Try Custom Navigation Mode.

For a password service I suggest to use vaultwarden. Wikijs is not a password service.
as an administrator I upload images to my wifi but as a guest user I can't see them, they break, What I can do?
sounds like a permission issue. I think you need to give guests permission to read the directory the pics are in.
Thank you!
Thanks! Is it possible to implement a P2P third-system for documents like Swooki or Newbound Network? And personal wikis (like in TWiki) connected to a broad main community wiki?
I don't know of such interfaces. I suggest post a feature request here: js.wiki/feedback

Can a wiki be open source and cloud-hosted or are all open source wikis self hosted?
Well cloud is only a buzzword. You can surely find someone who will host a wikijs for you.
can you please help me on the security setting "increase 10 file upload to multiple"

how to login first time?
como administrador subo imágenes a mi wiki pero como usuario invitado no puedo verlas, se rompen
How the F would I ever have made it so far as to find this video without having any idea about what a wiki is
Hallo, könnten Sie das auch in deutsch hier ablegen? Wäre echt super, DANKE
it sucks to drag and drop a picture on it
Hey, do you maybe got an Discord where i can ask you some questions? Greeting Marc
I don't use discord very often but just give me your username and I will try to contact you.
Great video. It's pronounced "Locale" btw ;)
В Wiki.js вообще возможно нормальное дерево создать? Или доступно только такое нелогичное где виден только родитель а дерева нет?
Help me
A useful information !
However, it would be nice if you stopped swallowing saliva every 20 seconds...it's annoying ;)
Many thanks!
can we edit its code?
