I use jingo as a personal wiki. It uses markdown syntax and provides a simple online editing interface. Not sure how it scales but you can self host and it’s free. https://github.com/claudioc/jingo

What’s your favorite note taking app, foss or selfhosted?
7 projects | /r/selfhosted | 26 Apr 2022

I use Jingo (https://github.com/claudioc/jingo). It's built with NodeJS, uses Markdown, and stores everything in a git repository automatically pushed to a remote repository (in my case Bitbucket). That way everything is in plain text and has full version history should I ever want to move to another system.
