Fossil-scm.org is very lightweight (2mb ram) and does quite a lot. See if you like it.
That's pretty neat!
Hadn't heard of it before. Looks promising, thank you.
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.
