Simple self-hosted personal wiki (alien.top)

I want a personal wiki server that I can run on my computer locally so I can view the wiki in my web browser.

Requirements:

simple setup (static executable with embedded database, like SQLite)
the posts are made of markdown files (or modified markdown syntax)
I want to edit markdown files with vim, the server should just render files
really good search support

QOwnNotes (https://github.com/pbek/QOwnNotes) is what I use

single binary install, and if you already have md files you just point it at them and go... if you don't like it (even after you edited a few of your files with it), well your files are still there, still in markdown

give it a shot :)
