Kudos to the author for scratching their own itch.
People in a similar position might be interested in Joplin, which is indeed FOSS, and has lots of sync options. I personally use SyncThing, which keeps things free, but you can also use a number of other free cloud providers. You can choose to encrypt your notes to protect your privacy.
If you need a little bit more than Joplin (which is a great notes taking app, but not so much of a PKMS), give Trilium¹ a try! (I used Joplin for a little while, and it's a good tool, and it's fine not to chase for more if you don't need it, but if you do, not much beats Trilium, IMO)

Self hosted Joplin with encryption has been more than enough for me. It was pretty easy pulling all my apple notes into joplin as md files. Building my own like this just seems excessive
