Hi everyone - wondering what advice you can offer for building something like this. Ideally I’d like to create a simple wiki for creative projects (mostly for content in the DnD campaigns my group has run over the years) and give others editing access, but would prefer something free or low-cost (no more than $10 monthly would be nice). How might one go about doing this? Just bite the bullet and pay for hosting? Maybe use a service like Azure or Linode?

I should add, I would rather avoid Fandom/wikia pages since that platform is an ad-riddled mess and I dislike using it. Most guidance I’ve found online mentions fandom so I’m hoping for different opinions.

I’m moderately tech savvy but have never done self-hosting (though I’d give it a shot if it’s simple enough to build and keep secure). Thanks!

    Have you considered tiddlywiki? You can selfhost, or use one of a couple of services. I know of https://tiddlyhost.com/

    Also you could consider anytype. It’s cool, and I like what they’re going for. I don’t like their weird pretending to be open source license, but it’s still pretty cool software. https://anytype.io

    Edit: for my personal stuff, I use a combination of logseq, and tiddlywiki, the latter moreso for game development. I landed on anytype at work because it’s simple, and my boss, nor anyone else cares about a license, and it just works.
