Nextcloud is feature-rich, but a little slower and vastly more complicated than a CalDAV server like Baikal.
Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

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.
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.
