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

Dokuwiki has been my go-to solution for docs everywhere I've been for the past ten years or so unless they already have a (usable) wiki in place.

Trivial to set up. Trivial to migrate to, and from (should you ever need to). Doesn't need a database. There are lots of plugins available and it's sooo easy to write plugins for. Even if you hate PHP.
