I've used Joplin before which was okay-ish (but borked the e2e encryption during an update).
Now I would recommend Silverbullet if you are really keen on self hosting a notes app.
But the notes that work best for me is simply Obsidian + Syncthing-Fork (you could self host a syncthing server), thanks to its sheer ability to adapt to nearly any use case thanks to its plugin.
If you go this route, OP, and have an Android phone, then you should know the (very sad and disappointing) news that SyncThing for Android is about to be shut down.

But Syncthing Fork is not shut down and is still maintained (never used the main version tbh).

Oooohh. TIL. Thanks!
Thanks!
What was wrong with Joplin? I was thinking about giving it a try.
Not the OP, but I believe they're talking about the upgrade from 128 bit AES to 256 bit AES. It created some compatibility issues between clients for a few days as the ones that weren't updated yet couldn't decrypt the newer 256 AES encrypted notes. That was my experience anyways. It's a great app/server from my personal experience.
I also tried Joplin and while it's great while using it, there's no background sync and never will be. That's a huge pain when you're mobile and need to get at your notes but have little or no signal.
