Recommendations for lightweight wiki servers? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I currently run a personal wiki for some notes, recipes, and stuff. It's set up using Wiki.js as the server. I'm the only regular user, and I feel like it's a bit of an overkill.

Does someone have any suggestions for a more lightweight wiki server? I tried DokuWiki and mostly like it. But the UI is very old and dare I say, ugly. I love the UI of Wiki.js btw.

My main criteria is that it should be lightweight. I don't need fancy editing features. Happy to work with raw html or markdown files.

I need some kind of permission management to hide some private wikis from the public, but otherwise I don't really care.

Fossil-scm.org is very lightweight (2mb ram) and does quite a lot. See if you like it.

That's pretty neat!

Fossil looks really cool ! To bad they don't approve a container setup ! They surely have their reason.

They don’t? They even ship a Dockerfile, the prebuilt image is just not published on a registry

Wow, they really hate the idea that everyone could just spin up a Docker container with their wiki software.

Eh, they just don’t pre-build and publish the image themselves. Why assume malice? 🤷‍♂️

Btw, Fossil isn’t really a wiki software but a full on source control system a la git, with its own front end, that includes a wiki. It’s developed and used by the SQLite developers. It’s a single executable, so it’s pretty easy to run anywhere already, I assume they may just provide the Dockerfile for convenience…

Given this context it seems much more reasonable having such a complex and long instructions page on how to run it in Docker. This seems to be something you don't just try and run simply for checking it out.

I looked at the instructions it under the premise of "lightweight wiki server" and did not check in detail what this specific software is.

Hadn't heard of it before. Looks promising, thank you.
