Looking for a wiki-like application for Windows (feddit.de)

I'm currently using a self hosted instance of XWiki on my NAS to write down long term notes just for myself. But it runs very slow with the database and limited hardware ressources. And since I only access it from my Windows PC on my LAN I figured I'd just need an application that does the same job and save the files on my NAS.

So does anyboy know a good Open Source application for Windows that can be used like that? It needs features like these:

WYSIWYG editor
tables
font colors
font highlights
text code
headings
embed images
embed YouTube links
(un-)ordered lists
bold text
underlined text

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Added WYSIWYG editor to the list.

I just use an editor and a local git repo. Write everything in Markdown. Current editor of choice is Pulsar but use what you like. Self hosted repo lets me access the notes from any device as well as keep a history of what I've changed.

Maybe Joplin?

I already use Joplin but it doesn't offer all the features I need (afaik). Tables for example.

I've tables in Joplin... https://joplinapp.org/markdown/#tables

Oh, right. But it looks very inconvenient to create and edit tables. I'd rather stick with my XWiki then. Thank you anyways.
