I want to preserve as much article style and formatting as possible. Miraheze had a disaster in November, and I lost my wiki. Found an archive on the Wayback Machine, but my wiki still isn't restored.
Getting tired of cloud-only article storage, since farm hosts are never dependable. Wikii, Wiki-Site, and Wikispaces are all extinct. Fandom has become a toxic woke nightmare. Shout doesn't impress me. And Miraheze nearly went extinct due to a head crash wiping out thousands of wikis. They're also replacing everything to some new database storage something or other, since they've been using a really outdated one, hence the constant 503 errors.
I'm tired of having to constantly rebuild. Offline solutions for a wiki are few and shrinking. MediaWiki on a virtual server isn't in the cards, given Bitnami no longer supporting it.
Note taking software is what's usually recommended instead. But MyInfo looks like a waste of a hundred bucks. Joplin doesn't impress me, and neither does OneNote.
If all else fails, I could just copy everything to MS Word, then attach the Word document articles to Plottr. Seems like a pretty desperate solution, and devoid of a lot of the better things about wikis. But at least I don't have to worry about losing everything regarding notes on my projects every time someone else's server has a bad hiccup.

My suggestion:
1. Decide which open source wiki software you want to use. Find out what software is required to run it as a website.
2. Create a docker container (s) that have all of the required software. Someone may have even already created a docker container with everything you need.
3. Run this docker stuff. You will then be able to point your web browser to an address on your local machine and interact with it just as if you were interacting with a normal web based site.
Step #2 would be the most complicated if you're not tech savy although if anyone has already done similar it may be as simple as downloading docker and doing some copy & pasting.
Basically, convert every XML page feed tag content into an HMTL on the hard drive. That may be what it takes.
I do not have a methodology for this.
