Oddmuse

Simple wiki engine written in Perl. No database required.

Oddmuse is a lightweight wiki engine written in Perl that stores pages as plain files, eliminating the need for a database. It runs as a CGI script under Apache or can be served with Mojolicious, and uses a configurable data directory for page storage. Installation involves copying the script to a CGI‑bin, setting executable permissions, and configuring the web server’s environment variables.

The system is intended for users who want a self‑hosted, simple wiki without external dependencies. It supports basic editing through a web interface, link creation with double‑square‑bracket syntax, and can be extended with translation files and optional modules. The README provides step‑by‑step guidance for Debian‑based systems, including Apache setup, directory ownership, and optional use of the Hypnotoad server for persistent service.

Oddmuse is released under GPL‑3.0, is marked as stable, and is fully open source, allowing anyone to host, modify, or redistribute the software without subscription or tier restrictions.
