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.

I have been using Bookstack, I like it though it is missing a few features I would love:

you cannot insert a video in it
there is no possibility to comment on a particular text
the permissions management is only done with roles. That's fine generally but I wanted to be able to share a specific page with a specific user, and for that I had to basically create a dedicated role for this use.

Seconding Bookstack. I’ve embedded videos in it and I don’t recall anything special to do it. I also think there’s a way to comment on specific pages…mostly because I remember disabling that functionality.

Agreed on the roles and permissions aspect though. It’s pretty standard to do that for bigger deployments, but it may be a bit overkill for a single user instance.
