The desire to replace Google Calendar and Contacts - eviltoast

Hello self-hosted world!

Step by step, I’m going into the beautiful world of self-hosting. With Davx9 and agendav, there is beautiful software available for self-hosting and syncing dav-files. Time to start migrating away from Google Calendar and Google Contacts.

However, I’m getting stuck at finding a replacement for the web app. You see, I hate phones (nothing personal, and it’d be much better if my phone had a full mechanical keyboard built-in but physics won’t allow it), so I type all my stuff on the computer using contacts.google.com and calendar.google.com -> it’s synched to my phone and I can check it there (plus, notifications!). So in order to get rid of Google, I’d need to have a web app which does that for me, ideally with a shiny Docker image making the setup painless.

I’ve looked into Nextcloud (which I use), but it’s absolute bloat, slow and not particularly user friendly. However, I can’t seem to find many options. I can’t be alone with this crave for a fast web frontend for cal and contacts.

What are my fellow selfhosting enthousiasts using?

Cheers!

    Hello, I host my own mail server with Roundcube as a webmail, integrated with Radicale for the contacts and calendar. Hope it helps !
