What PukiWiki is
PukiWiki is free wiki software for creating and editing linked pages in a web browser. It is self-hosted web software for Linux and supports both private and public publishing audiences. The official site lists PukiWiki 1.5.4 as the latest version and provides a downloadable release; that version supports PHP 8.1. Smartphone support was added in version 1.5.3. A plugin area offers community-created extensions, while version history records project releases. On the official trial site, users must enter a username and password to edit pages. The project reports multiple vulnerabilities in versions through 1.5.3 and recommends upgrading to 1.5.4 or applying a temporary workaround. Fixes and security fixes for the 1.5 series are handled on the development site. Release and security information is available through the PukiWiki-announce mailing list, and questions can be sent to the project’s question box. The PukiWiki Development Team identifies the project.
