I see Ghost has a paid option but I am unaware of such an option for Mediawiki.

Why do you want to host them? Usually the difficult parts are necessary because they’re needed to have the level of control, security, and privacy that is the reason a person is self-hosting in the first place. And there are not enough simple standards for running software securely so you do need to learn some nerd stuff to do it right - but no so much that it is impossible for a beginner.
I’m not asking for me. I’m asking if I want to share these resources to my coworkers who want to host websites and wikis for academia.
For academia I recommend having an IT cost center responsible for the hosting infrastructure, namely virtualization. Then let people have VPSes (or similar) as needed to run docker-based services. This makes it easier to handle network and security concerns. Most large universities already offer something like this to students and faculty.
