@t0maz@floss.social is correct. The server code is open and may be used non commercially. It's quite strict though, as I suspect many personal use cases could be argued to create value and therefore a 'profit' ("not use the Software to generate profits of any kind". See:
https://github.com/DavideRutigliano/joplin-server/blob/dev/packages/server/LICENSE.md )
I'm not sure this as a risk for my use case in practice, but worth considering.

@BenjaminNelan@mastodon.social @t0maz@floss.social I'm veering away from #Joplin because I'm not clear if there is a useable web app. There's a beta repo last updated 2yrs ago, but I don't see the source in the main packages directory. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? The point of self hosting is somewhat lost if you have to use their native apps, particularly on mobile, especially now Google is enclosing Android. Important goals for me are privacy and avoiding enshitification traps which are rapidly worsening.
