DokuWiki System Requirements
To run your own copy of DokuWiki you will need the following:
A Webserver supporting PHP
DokuWiki will run on any web server, that supports PHP. Most users use Apache or nginx, but many others including IIS, litespeed, lighttpd, OpenBSD httpd and Abyss are known to work.
PHP version 7.2 up to latest PHP version 7.4.x or PHP 8.0 - 8.1
PHP needs to be at least version 7.2 since the « Igor » release, support for previous PHP versions has been dropped on this release. PHP versions up to and including 7.3 are now EOL, therefore using the latest version of the 7.4.x branch or 8.x is highly recommended. Dokuwiki is compatible with PHP 8.0 and 8.1.
For resizing images either the PHP GD extension or Image Magick should be installed.
