Keep your knowledge close.
A small, self-hosted, Markdown-first wiki for documentation.
Lore gives you a focused place to write, organize, search, and share documentation. It runs as a single Go application backed by PostgreSQL and includes authentication, revision history, search, media, collaboration, and administration.
The same binary can also publish Markdown as a read-only static documentation site without PostgreSQL or a running Lore server.
Start Lore with Docker Compose:
docker compose -f deploy/compose.yaml up -dBy default, Lore is available at:
http://localhost:8080
On a fresh database, open Lore and create the first administrator through the setup page.
For production deployments, authentication, Kubernetes, static sites, and other configuration, see the documentation.
