DokuWiki vs Joomla!: What are the differences?

Developers describe DokuWiki as "Open Source wiki software that doesn't require a database". It is a simple to use and highly versatile Open Source wiki software that doesn't require a database. It has clean and readable syntax. The ease of maintenance, backup and integration makes it an administrator's favorite. Built in access controls and authentication connectors make it especially useful in the enterprise context and the large number of plugins contributed by its vibrant community allow for a broad range of use cases beyond a traditional wiki. On the other hand, Joomla! is detailed as "A content management system helping both novice users and expert developers to create powerful websites and applications". Joomla is a simple and powerful web server application and it requires a server with PHP and either MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server to run it.

DokuWiki and Joomla! can be primarily classified as "Self-Hosted Blogging / CMS" tools.

Joomla! is an open source tool with 3.31K GitHub stars and 2.9K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Joomla!'s open source repository on GitHub.

According to the StackShare community, Joomla! has a broader approval, being mentioned in 179 company stacks & 136 developers stacks; compared to DokuWiki, which is listed in 8 company stacks and 5 developer stacks.

Decisions about DokuWiki and Joomla!

10 Years ago I have started to check more about the online sphere and I have decided to make a website. There were a few CMS available at that time like WordPress or Joomla that you can use to have your website. At that point, I have decided to use WordPress as it was the easiest and I am glad I have made a good decision. Now WordPress is the most used CMS. Later I have created also a site about WordPress: https://www.wpdoze.com
