Fellow devs, I'm looking for a CMS which has markdown support and allows authorized entry.
Basically we are working with some clients on some IP. We want to convey what we have worked up via a website. But we want the access to be regulated.
We are currently using wiki to maintain the information.
What are my alternatives?

    Atlassian Confluence, maybe? Quick scan suggests plenty of alternatives, but that's where I'd start (only because I know it, though).

    @CrankyOldDev thanks, I'll keep it it mind. But i was thinking of something which we can host ourselves. A self hosted CMS with markdown support.

    For $10, you can buy a self-hosted license for Confluence. For me, it does exactly what you want. We use it for exactly the same reason in my work. Although not sure what it does with Markdown or if it supports it.

    @CrankyOldDev It seems nice but the problem with this approach is that we have to keep our data on their servers. My requirement is that the entire setup should be maintained in-house. We have plenty of servers to host 24x7 sites.

    @xavier666 I don't mean to labour the point, but self-hosted = software and data all on your own server, unless I'm missing something.

    He just said self-hosted...... So your own servers.

    We use confluence at work too hosted on one of our Linux servers in-house.

    @CrankyOldDev I'm very sorry. I somehow missed this part. The moment I saw $10 I thought it was a monthly payment thing. I'll be checking this out. Thanks!

    @xavier666 No apologies necessary. It's a good tool for the scenario you're looking for.

    @CrankyOldDev Now I just have to see whether my supervisor will accept this solution. Thanks!

    Confluence isn't bad, cheap, can host on your own servers and is probably the more widely used choice.

    I am not sure, but maybe you should try Grav. (php) I am using it for my blog. It is pretty easy to extend it and it is flat file based so easy setup 😉

    @david-szabo does it allow authorized views?

    Roll your own with Yii2 + Parsedown.

    Yii2 has out of the box RBAC, at least that's what I use for my blog and a simple tutorial sub-site I have

    @xavier666 You mean pages which can only be viewed by logged in users? In that case, yeah it does.
