PandaWiki is an open-source knowledge base system that leverages AI large language models to help users quickly build intelligent product documentation, technical documentation, FAQs, and blog systems. It targets individuals and organizations looking to enhance their documentation with AI-powered content creation, Q&A, and search capabilities, offering a centralized and intelligent platform for knowledge management.

How It Works

PandaWiki integrates with large language models to provide AI-driven features. Users can import content from various sources, including web pages, sitemaps, RSS feeds, and offline files. The system supports rich text editing with Markdown and HTML compatibility, and allows content export to multiple formats. Its architecture enables integration as a web widget or chat robot for platforms like DingTalk, Feishu, and WeChat Work.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation: Run bash -c "$(curl -fsSLk https://release.baizhi.cloud/panda-wiki/manager.sh)" on a Linux system with Docker 20.x+.
• Prerequisites: Docker 20.x+, Linux OS.
• AI Model Configuration: Requires configuration with an AI model (e.g., via Baizhi Cloud Model Plaza) for AI features to function.
• Resources: Setup involves a few minutes for the installation script.
• Documentation: Installation Guide, AI Model Integration, Knowledge Base Setup.

Licensing & Compatibility

• License: GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0).
• Restrictions: AGPL-3.0 is a strong copyleft license. Modifications or services built upon it must also be open-sourced under AGPL-3.0, even if accessed over a network. Commercial use requires adherence to these open-source obligations.

Limitations & Caveats

The AGPL-3.0 license imposes significant obligations for network-served modifications, potentially restricting commercial use in closed-source environments. AI features are dependent on external AI model configuration.
