GitHub issues is almost the best notebook in the world
As others have pointed out you don't "host" Obsidian - it's just a local collection of markdown files. But if you're asking about a self-hosted alternative to "Obsidian Publish" for creating a knowledgebase that others can answer, I'm Quartz[0], a static-site generator designed to turn Obsidian markdown files into a website. I'm building and it and hosting it on Gitlab Pages at work[1].

Ow I Blog with Obsidian, Hugo, GitHub, and Cloudflare – Zero Cost Owned
Shout out to Quartz, which produces a site similar to Obsidian Publish: https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/
(I would use Obsidian Publish, but it rendered far too slowly on some pages. I do use their excellent sync service though.)
