FreshRSS vs Wiki.js: at a glance
What is FreshRSS?
FreshRSS ships two security releases in a day for PHP CVEs and moves Docker to Debian 13.
FreshRSS has issued four 1.30.x security releases since the 1.30.0 change that blocked local network access by default. 1.30.3 and 1.30.4, both on Oct 21, patched severe PHP vulnerabilities in the official Docker images: Debian first, now on Debian 13 Trixie, then Alpine. The project points users who want faster patches to its rolling edge channel.
What is Wiki.js?
Wiki.js 3 beta.705 ships a built-in MCP server and page ownership with lifecycle rules.
Wiki.js 3 is still marked not for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, page ownership with lifecycle rules, a feedback board that reviewers can edit and categorize, and link completion in the markdown editor. PAT scopes get a clearer dialog, which matters now that tokens are how outside clients connect.

FreshRSS
5.0COLLAB
FreshRSS ships two security releases in a day for PHP CVEs and moves Docker to Debian 13.
◆ Current state
FreshRSS has issued four 1.30.x security releases since the 1.30.0 change that blocked local network access by default. 1.30.3 and 1.30.4, both on Oct 21, patched severe PHP vulnerabilities in the official Docker images: Debian first, now on Debian 13 Trixie, then Alpine. The project points users who want faster patches to its rolling edge channel.
◆ Where it's heading
The 1.30 line has become a security maintenance branch, and new features wait for the next major. The team is treating its Docker images as part of the product it must patch, not just the PHP code.
◆ Prediction
More 1.30.x point releases are likely as upstream PHP and base-image fixes land; new features probably arrive with 1.31.
Wiki.js
6.3COLLAB
Wiki.js 3 beta.705 ships a built-in MCP server and page ownership with lifecycle rules.
◆ Current state
Wiki.js 3 is still marked not for production, but beta.705 adds a built-in MCP server, page ownership with lifecycle rules, a feedback board that reviewers can edit and categorize, and link completion in the markdown editor. PAT scopes get a clearer dialog, which matters now that tokens are how outside clients connect.
◆ Where it's heading
The v3 betas have moved from editor features (live notes, math, draft recovery) toward governance and machine access: personal access tokens in beta.672, then MCP and page lifecycle rules here. The project is building the controls an organization needs before trusting a wiki to AI clients and to long-lived content.
◆ Prediction
Expect more MCP tools and PAT scope options in the next betas, and lifecycle rules tied into notifications for review and expiry.
