Get HMD running and write your first pages.
Hosting HMD yourself
- Install HMD: start a local instance with Docker or a binary.
- First-Run Setup: name your wiki and create a namespace.
- Your First Wiki: build two linked pages and view their history.
Add a Git remote, public access or an AI assistant only after you have tried writing locally.
Using an HMD someone else set up
Ask for the wiki address and a writable namespace, sign in, then go to Your First Wiki. Writing in the browser needs no install and no Git.
