XWiki is an enterprise wiki platform designed for knowledge management, documentation, and collaborative content creation. It supports structured content, scripting, and a rich extension ecosystem. As a base openDesk CE component, it ships stable and production-ready.
Key Features
- Structured content: Create pages, spaces, and nested document hierarchies for organized knowledge bases.
- Rich text editing: WYSIWYG editor with tables, images, macros, and syntax highlighting.
- Extension ecosystem: Install applications and extensions from the XWiki marketplace for added functionality.
- Programming support: Script pages with Velocity, Groovy, or Python for custom workflows and automation.
- Rights management: Fine-grained access control at the space, page, and object level.
Integration with openDesk Edu
XWiki integrates with openDesk Edu through Keycloak-based SSO using SAML 2.0 and OIDC. Users access the wiki directly from the unified Nubus portal. It deploys as a modular Helm chart and serves as the default wiki solution alongside the Beta alternative BookStack. Persistent data is backed up through k8up.
