Lore

Lore is a small, self-hosted, Markdown-first wiki. The normal server is a single Go binary backed by PostgreSQL; the same codebase can also build a read-only static documentation site from ordinary Markdown files.

Lore server is the full collaborative wiki. It provides authentication, roles, editing, private drafts, page history, groups, search, media, administration, API tokens, discussions, and PostgreSQL-backed knowledge features.

Lore static site reads Markdown from a directory and emits HTML, CSS, generated JavaScript, a navigation tree, page contents, and a browser-side search index. It does not use PostgreSQL and intentionally contains no authentication, editor, drafts, administration, or write APIs.
