Hey All, I am just getting started in my journey. Part of my goals is to de-google my life and am looking to start with my calendar. I want to to sync with my laptop and my phone. I was going to start reading about nextcould because it seems like it would have the stuff I need and more. My question is what does the community use, so that I can read and research about it. No technical questions yet.

Edit: Not sure why I cannot see the replies when signed in (visible when logged out). Will be checking out your suggestions. Thanks Self Hosted community!

Nextcloud is feature-rich, but a little slower and vastly more complicated than a CalDAV server like Baikal.

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

Fewer Letters	More Letters
DNS	Domain Name Service/System
SSL	Secure Sockets Layer, for transparent encryption
TLS	Transport Layer Security, supersedes SSL

Radicale on the server, exposed publicly on a "secret" subdomain.

InfCloud as a web app.

Calengoo on the phone and it also has clients for desktop (Windows, Linux, Mac).

CalDAV-Sync / CardDAV-Sync to sync on Android (although Calengoo can also connect directly to Radicale).

I tried DAVx5 for Android sync but it had issues with large calendars and would choke sometimes when it lost connectivity.

If you use let's encrypt certificates on that subdomain it's pretty easy to find. https://crt.sh/

Nextcloud is technically a solid product if your goal is to replace all the Google services. Personally I think it's too heavy and I've had issues with using it vs using specialized apps for each service I'm replacing.

I still run it on a 10 year old chromebox (replacing chrome with linux of course). It's really not that heavy. If it seems very slow, I'd try rebuilding the database from a dump (if mysql/mariadb), and making sure the db is on a fast drive. At least, those two things made a huge difference for me. Also, some people reported huge speedups switching to postgres.
