We used Dokuwiki in a similar situation. It's been a few years since I last used it (new client uses confluence) but I remember it was super easy to connect external tools. If your script can output text, Dokuwiki can display it :)

EDIT: I decided to try dokuwiki in Podman, works nicely as long as you run:

  podman unshare chown 1000:1000 /path/to/wiki/data

Is this a good choice for a company? These sorts of "hacker" solutions inevitably fall flat because people want a bunch of bells and whistles and don't mind things like never being able to find anything (arguably the single most important feature of a wiki) or being able to integrate their documentation with other systems.

It integrated well with our LDAP server. Its search is great, and everything is plain text so you can do whatever you like. It has a rich text editor but you can also edit plain text.
