Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Opencloud instead of nextcloud

Or, just radicale and syncthing (if you don't need a webUI)

Syncthing isn't quite the same

I'd be more likely to use a SMB share

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 1 points 23 hours ago

True... could be both... or perhaps copyparty.

I was thinking more along the colab side, where syncthing is working on your laptop and mine to sync our files, rather than central storage, but fair point.

I have a working radicale lxc currently powered off because the integration is almost 100% app dependant on a Googlefied device. I can apparent just add a caldav easy as that in graphene but my wife's aosp device ala Google fi needs an app and they ask y seem to suck.

Radicale just implements CalDAV and CardDAV so use any clients you want.

I'm mostly using the Fossify from F-Droid - their calendar, contacts, all work with DAVx5 syncing to radicale and it works fine... no 3rd party tracking my dentist appointments.

I also have TrackerControl running on my phone, so I know that there's no tracking.

I use owncloud

If I'm only looking for document storage and maybe a caldav (Android caldav options are rough) what would be best?
