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 use tiddlywiki for my single-user wiki. The setup is dead simple, one html file on your computer you open directly. There is also a nodejs server implementation, which I use.

Trilium. Share the nodes in the tree that you want public.

I use https://mycorrhiza.wiki/ it is not very fancy but it is a single executable file and stores pages in a git repository, so no database is needed and doing the export is as simple as reading some files.

It’s apparently early in development, but there’s an ActivityPub implementation of wikis made by one of Lemmy’s dev.

Using dokuwiki, just cut the cheese for me.

Its “old” because it uses php, but its quite solid and doesn’t need a database, so all plus to me.

There are cool and modern looking themes too.

I second DokuWiki. It’s super lightweight and infinitely customizable with plugins.
