      Actually, if I was already invested in O365 I would roll Sharepoint and use the for documentation.

      It is so easy to install doku or mediawiki that I don't think I would go turnkey.

        Which one would you use? or What would you be leaning towards?

        This is for public docs, and private docs so I need some control over who can see what.

              I've only ever stood up a MediaWIki server. Dokuwiki looks to be easier to implement. Both can do authentication and authorization. So you wouldn't have any issues locking down certain areas.

                Really? I've never noticed an issue with formatting. Mediawiki has some plugins that have better WYSIWYG editors but the default one and the syntax are pretty quick the learn.

                  having to type '<br>' everywhere to get a carriage return is a huge PITA.

                    Confluence is nice. The editor is easy to use they do have a strange permissions system that doesn't always work the greatest, but there is a huge overhead in both resources and licensing when you compare to other options.

                      In Mediawiki? Just hit return twice.

                          duku seems like the clear winner here...

                                  It's a website correct? What if your documentation are instructions and have sensitive information like IP addresses for remote access etc? I would need to limit access.

                                    Both MediaWiki and DokuWiki can require authentication for some pages and other pages be completely public.

                                      That is fantastic. Thank you very much for the recommendation. Very helpful.

                                        The nice thing about dokuwiki is that it uses just text files. No backend database or anything like that.

                                          Yes that is also great. I will definitely be using this in the near future.

                                            Anyone know of a good CentOS 7 install guide for dokuwiki?
