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.

It's Sunday somewhere already so why wait?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I'll post my ongoing things later/tomorrow but I didn't want to forget the post again.

A couple of days ago, after testing it myself for a few months to make sure I understood how everything works, I made the switch to NextCloud Calendar, and will no longer use Google Calendar.

This is the best part though... I somehow convinced my wife to do the same. She let me install the NextCloud app(optional for Calendar stuff but makes the setup easier) and DAVx^5^ on her phone (both from F-Droid, so DAVx^5^ was free). I exported and imported her calendar, and made sure the notifications were set up to her preferred default.

It's multiple days later, and she hasn't complained!

I've also moved all of my contacts over to NextCloud, but have yet to coerce my spouse to do the same.

Which calendar client did you use?

I thought the switch to nextcloud calendar was going to be simple, but davx is ... Not a clean-cut app.

  • Did you find a way to sync from device to NC?
  • Were you able to merge Google's dumb export of 3 calendars?

I've been using Fossify Calendar for a while now and it's been pretty great. I moved to it after the whole Simple apps getting sold drama when it happened.
