Setting up a self-hosted wiki can be a cost-effective alternative for startups compared to using paid platforms like Confluence or Notion. Wiki.js, combined with PostgreSQL, can be easily set up using Docker Compose, and it allows you to maintain fixed costs regardless of the number of users. Additionally, adding Elasticsearch can enhance search functionality. Running a self-hosted wiki on AWS EC2 can be significantly cheaper, and making the setup production-ready involves implementing custom domains, DNS, load balancers, SSO, and regular backups.
