Outline: Self hostable, realtime, Markdown compatible knowledge base
It's nowhere near as featureful as Outline, but I wrote my own Markdown knowledge base thingy in Python. It is web-based and geared toward single-user (or _very_ small team use) but it's Apache licensed and has no commercial tie-ins. Super easy to deploy as long as you know how to layer some rudimentary authentication on top of it.

Joplin – open-source note-taking and to-do application with sync
I wrote my own note-keeping system[0] and very much wanted all of the notes to just be markdown files on the disk. It turns out that there are trade-offs to this. If you want plaintext markdown files on disk AND want fancy features like file versioning, a search index, tags, etc then you need to store all of that metadata somewhere and you're down writing a half-assed implementation of a DBMS.
Now, you can certainly bite the bullet and full-ass the implementation like Dokuwiki did, but that is really quite a lot of work and effort against simply `import sqlite` and writing a couple of tutorial-level queries. And it turns out that exporting all of your documents to plaintext, if you should so choose, is a one-line command away.

Web-based knowledge management software recommendation?
I wrote my own. It's a web app but one of its features is that it doesn't have many features. https://github.com/cu/silicon

Searching for Joplin alternative
It doesn't have folders and tags, but if that's not a deal-breaker you could check out https://github.com/cu/silicon

Is there any self hosted journaling app you are using and can recommend ?
Not sure which features you're looking for, but you could try this thing I wrote: https://github.com/cu/silicon

Why Categories for Your Note Archive Are a Bad Idea (2015)
3. Very occasionally, I will click on a link on one page to go to another page.
And what would be the point of categorizing all my notes? Every single time I go to my wiki, it's to either write down something specific or search for something specific. I have _never_ wanted to see a list of all of my pages about programming languages for example. Or every page tagged "bash".
I think as software engineers building our own tools, we sometimes build features because they sound interesting and we know how to do it, or because the project doesn't "feel" complete without them. Not because we'll ever actually use them.
When I _do_ want to break up a large subject (e.g. Python) into multiple pages, I just create one "Python" page and link to all of the others from that page.
The one concession I've made to categorization/organization is that I've added a feature where two pages can be marked as "related" to one another. This is mainly to avoid having a manually-edited "See Also" section on pages that touch upon topics covered on other pages.

Joplin – open-source note-taking and to-do application with sync
I tried many note-taking apps and finally settled on Notable[0]. It's simple and you can point it to a folder with markdown files and attachments. Plus, you can just sync the folder using any syncing service, and use Noteless[1] on Android. And the tagging support is superb.
Because of the simple folder structure, you can also use vim+fzf to search/navigate your notes. The notational-fzf-vim plugin[2] is superb for that.
For web-clipping, I just use the markdownload[3] extension in firefox and save the markdown file in the notes folder.
Why not joplin? Mostly because joplin stores notes in an sqlite database instead of a simple folder structure making it not easily accessible by normal unix tools and editors.
Why not obsidian? Was never able to grok obsidian. In notable, I can tag a note as Books/CS, and CS/Books, and it'll show up in corresponding folder-like structures in the left panel.

How do you guys keep track of your shots and notes?
I use https://notable.app/ for my notes, backup the notes / setup on a private github repo which I share with the Mac / Linux versions I use. Been working really well.
