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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

What's your problem with DAVx^5? It's completely and permanently free and fully-featured on f-droid. Only the PlayStore version costs money. The authors don't want to make money, but motivate you to move away from Google infrastructure.
If you only need address/phone number sync, then nextcloud is probably overkill, but I use it, and it works great. Also for calendar sync and file storage.
(You don't need to put the community name in the title, especially not with "@", which signifies usernames. Communities are prefixed by "!".)
They posted from mastodon though, so they do need to mention the community in order to cross post there.
really? that is cool. i did not realise that was possible. ah fediverse... so many possibilities!
You can even call mastodon bots here, e.g. @remindme@mstdn.social in 5 minutes
@redcalcium Here is your reminder!
Thank you my dear bot
Ah, I see. I suspected it might be something like that. I've never tried that.
I agree that DAVx^5 is really good. OP is from Mastodon, which might explain the funny post title.
Because Davx5 only works with Android and he stated he wants something that syncs across all of his devices. I came across this posting because I am also looking for a solution to sync contacts between my Android and iPhone. I am trying to get away from Nextcloud because it's overkill for my use case... So far I have tried Radicale and Baikal but neither works for iOS.
