I’ve been using Google for the last decade and am owly moving away from it.
I’m on Fastmail (FM) right now. While I love their mailservice, the calendar and contacts integration is okey-ish, compared to Google.
Right now, my contacts are scattered across these services. New contacts that I add on my Android phone, are obviously not available on FM, and vice versa.
Therefore I’d like to setup a self hosted solution to manage contacts/calendars on a centralized place.
But right now, I can’t seem to wrap my head around this topic. I often see caldav/cardav mentioned, but don’t know how exactly they are related.
FYI: I’m a software developer, and I already host a bunch of services behind a reverse proxy.
Example scenarios:
- Install a full-featured calendar app (mobile, desktop, web) -> connect to my service
- Someone sends me a calendar invite to FM -> sync to my service
- I add a new contact on my Android phone -> sync to my service (make it visible in FM)
- I add a new contact in FM -> sync to my service
- I send a new calendar invite via FM -> sync to my service
- Bonus I send a new calendar invite via App, and it get’s sent via FM to the recepients.
So my question is what self-hosted solutions (besides Nextclowd) are out there that would allow me to accomplish that?
Ah, I see. Looks like some other people in this thread gave you some good info, I’ll have to keep this in mind if I ever need to change my approach. Happy to hear you got a good answer!
but yeah, setting up davx5 with my fastmail account gives me exactly what I need. I can use the google calendar app to have my FM calendar fully integrated.
