DokuWiki Hosting

Open your pod URL with /install.php added to the end. Complete the installer to name the wiki and create the first administrator account, as directed by PikaPods. Choose access settings appropriate for your audience, then open the wiki and create your first page. See the installer guide.

No. PikaPods sets up and runs DokuWiki for you, including OS and app updates and HTTPS. You won't touch Docker or a server. Your files and database stay accessible if you ever want to move them elsewhere.

Open the wiki in a web browser and sign in if editing is restricted. DokuWiki uses wiki syntax for formatting and linking pages; the official syntax reference covers writing, namespaces and media. No separate sync client is required for browser access.

DokuWiki stores its content in files and does not need a separate database service. Its basic wiki functions do not require an external account. Optional plugins can add integrations with their own requirements; review plugin compatibility before installing them.

Set up incremental backups to S3 in your pod settings for automatic nightly snapshots, or download your files and database yourself. We keep whole-server backups for server failures, but they aren't a per-pod restore service, so your own backup is what protects your data.

You can use DokuWiki instead of Confluence and Notion. PikaPods runs it for you, and you can move your files and database elsewhere.

Confluence is a hosted workspace with rich editing and Atlassian integrations. DokuWiki is far simpler: it keeps pages as plain text files with wiki syntax and access control lists, and needs no database. It suits technical documentation more than teams who want a modern, visual editor.

No. You add prepaid credit and your pods are billed by the hour from that balance, rounded up to full hours. There are no contracts or minimum terms: delete a pod anytime and billing stops. Optional automatic top-ups keep your pods running without manual payments.

You do. And you're in full control. If you ever want to download, migrate, edit or delete your data, just enable file and database access for your pod and it will be right there.
