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.

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.
