Do you mean something like CalDAV? There are some solutions listed on the awesome-selfhosted github list
If what I’m seeing is right, then… maybe? I don’t care about the calendar at this point (solid chance I never will; I try to find it useful and my adhd prevents that - need more reminder options like “remind me every 25 minutes until I do something about it” and “remind me 2 days prior in case I forgot to accommodate it”), just the contact management.
The GitHub seems to have some stuff that might be what I’m looking for though, so link is appreciated. I have no idea what to do with this, but a good starting point (am mostly noob, looking for things to look into in October when I have a bunch of free time. I already need to learn docker for other reasons 😅)
Thanks for the help, I’ll do some digging :)
Please do. Maybe you‘ll find something useful. I found radicale working best for me (it was easy to install and selfhost). Selfhosting covers many topics, so it‘s difficult to share additional links here. But if you do a websearch, you should find good tutorials. Try to host in the local network first, and install a VPN to access services like CalDAV or CardDAV on the road. This will keep you from spending time on additional security considerations when hosting something on a public accessible host, which can be overwhelming when still being at the beginning.
That is how I do it. Also keeps you from receiving updates when you not specifically ask for them.
I do already self host a media server and run a vpn, pihole, etc. but don’t know anything deeper than that, and I want to have my setup done properly so I don’t have to move or redo anything later.
I’ll do some digging through and see if any of them are good fits, thank you :)
