Simple personal knowledgebase
I'm currently using Gollum Wiki in this way. It reads from a git repository, formats the markdown files nicely, and has a limited editor that is useful in a pinch.

Looking for the best self-hosted Markdown notes setup with web acces
Gollum would be an excellent solution. It's a web interface to a directory of markdown (or other formats), backed by git. Easy to sync the plain text files on your own devices (e.g. Syncthing) while still having a public web interface for school/work computers.

Gollum could meet the need. Logseq might work as well; here's a potential guide to self-hosting.

Looking for a simple wiki (web, not desktop) that stores backend as markdown files?
Gollum might be something worth looking into. It is basically a clone of the GitHub Wiki pages, built on top of git (so it uses version-controlled flat files as backend).
Gollum wiki fits the description, with git and a satisfying look and feel to boot.

What software do you use for writing?
Up until last year I was using LibreOffice Writer and Calligra Writer for writing, and a local install of DokuWiki for content management and web layout / outlining. Spellcheck and style tree were the main benefits of using LibreOffice, and it also other advantages in being 1.- fully offline and 2.- open source.
