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 ā 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 ā open-source note-taking and to-do application with sync
For those that want to crosslink anything and everything I suggest Logseq[1]. Its journal and graph view are fantastic. And it has many iseful plugins. I use it along with git-sync [2] and syncthing [3] now I can sync the notes across my work, personal desktops and my mobile.

[Guide] Obsidian Git Sync on app opening Android
Iām using almost the same approach to automatically sync my vault between my devices (Git, Termux, Tasker). The main difference is, that I'm using the great git-sync script by Simon Thum for syncing. In the past I had some problems with a simple script that included only git pull, commit and push. With the git-sync script I now have less problems. Nevertheless you can't avoid to have conflicts if you or plugins edit the same files at the same time. I have documented my setup in this GitHub repository.

NOOB Question: Are my settings being backed up to iCloud? Does anything exist like dotfiles? Brand new to macos. Go easy.
Before I came to macos I was using stow to keep all my dotfiles in one place. Then they were being copied nightly to a private github repo with git-sync which, as you know, is nice for versioning. I also had the central dotfile folder in a syncthing folder, so all my configs were always the same on any machine I used. If I update anything on one computer, it's changed on the other automatically. I also have a VPS that's participating, and somewhat acting as an always-on central sync server to keep everything recent.

Any notes app that syncs?
I use vim and git with git-sync addon (I think it's this one: https://github.com/simonthum/git-sync). I don't care too much about mobile, but I also have configured vim via Termux on my Android phone.

Dotfile manager like git
I use git bare, it works great: syncs only the files I explicitly add, allows to place git repos as children of $HOME, and I get to sync changes with a single command: you can use an alias to rebase, commit and push or something like git-sync.

Is it possible to make a script that calls to a private github repo to update files on my system?
This is not enough if you want to update from multiple machines. Again u/blevlabs I really suggest you use something like https://github.com/simonthum/git-sync to do this, as it gracefully handles a lot of the corner cases that you might want to implement with something like this.
