docs/self-hosting/README.md is the complete operator contract: install from the two reference files, first-run wizard walkthrough, update procedure with the one-release downgrade window, backup/restore with the sidecar, readyz-based troubleshooting (incl. the classic proxy/WebSocket and APP_BASE_URL/CSRF mistakes), and a build-from-source note; linked from the repository README; English-only by documented decision. The reference compose gains a `caddy` profile (new Caddyfile) that publishes 80/443 and terminates TLS via Let's Encrypt for $DOMAIN — localhost uses Caddy's internal CA for smoke tests. deploy/self-hosting-verify.sh scripts the clean-machine test: a fresh directory with only the published files boots to the wizard answering over TLS, then removes itself; verified green on the stage host.

Dorfteich
Dorfteich is an open-source wiki system built around ponds (German: Teiche) — self-contained wiki spaces that people and teams organize freely with hierarchical labels, directories, and Obsidian-style page relations. Pages are edited in a collaborative WYSIWYG editor with live cursors and offline support.
- Project site: https://dorfteich.cloud
- Public flagship instance: https://dorfteich.online
- License: MIT
Key features
- Real-time collaboration — multiple people edit the same page simultaneously; everyone sees the other participants' cursors and input live. Offline edits merge conflict-free on reconnect (CRDT-based).
- Ponds — isolated wiki spaces with their own members, permissions, fonts, and page organization. Every registered person gets a personal pond.
- Flexible organization — hierarchical labels, free page ordering,
[[wikilinks]]with backlinks. A classic page tree is possible but never enforced. - Fine-grained permissions — roles (Site Admin, Pond Admin, Editor, Reader, Public) can be granted per pond, per label, or per page; the most specific setting wins.
- Import & export — Markdown as the primary exchange format, plus best-effort structural import from Word/OpenOffice and export to Word/OpenOffice/PDF.
- Plugins — sandboxed extensions (custom blocks, styles, page tools) installable at runtime without redeploying the instance.
- Self-hosting first — a single
docker compose upplus a guided first-run setup wizard yields a working instance. Start here:docs/self-hosting/README.md.

Development
Requirements: Node.js ≥ 22 and pnpm (npm install -g pnpm).
pnpm install # install all workspace dependencies
pnpm lint # ESLint + Prettier check across the repo
pnpm typecheck # TypeScript --noEmit in every package
pnpm test # Vitest in every package
pnpm build # build every package (dependency order)
The workspace packages live under apps/ (web, api, collab) and
packages/ (shared). Shared logic goes into packages/shared and is
imported as @dorfteich/shared — never copy code between apps.
Status
The project is in the architecture and backlog phase. Implementation stories
are tracked as issues in this repository. Start reading at
docs/architecture/README.md.
