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.

    You said you liked the look of wiki.js but didn’t say what you didn’t like (unless I was missed it). Why not just use wiki.js? If you want permissions you’ll likely end up with other features like editing too.

      I currently use Wiki.js but it’s a bit too much. The image size is around 500MB. I don’t see why I need such a huge program for hosting essentially text files and some images.

      From the comments, DokuWiki with a modern theme, Fossil-SCM, and MkDocs seem nice. I’ll probably try some of these during the weekend.
