How do I self host data? - eviltoast

I’m tired of being tied to specific calendars and to-do apps because of difficulties in sharing and syncing my data, so I’d like to be able to manage it myself, either self hosting or using someone else’s servers.

I already pay for web-hosting for a personal website (wordpress) but beyond this I’m totally at a loss.

My main goal is incredibly simple - I just want to host some notes and calendars for my family (tomavoid headaches when phones invariably break and so on), which I feel can’t be too hard but I’m also incredibly stupid.

Please help?!

    Avid selfhoster here. Completely agree.

    “We choose to self host all the things not because it is easy, but because it is hard”.

    Very easy to get a self hosted calendar sharing thing to work, but to do it securely and reliably is a significant long term undertaking.

    especially when others might be accessing data there.
