The desire to replace Google Calendar and Contacts reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kalsan15 · 2023-11-24 10:54 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](https://contacts.google.com) and [calendar.google.com](https://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! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ElevenNotes · 2023-11-24 11:04 Outlook and Radicale (container) with CalDav Synchronizer plugin. I have never seen any web UI that could do what Outlook can do. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- birkoffsjunk · 2023-11-24 13:18 From what I've seen, foss web clients are severely lacking. Personally I use nextcloud. SOGo looks interesting, would probably be more popular if it was easier to run (mailcow has a docker image, although you'd need to dissect what is need to just run SOGo). Can you define "slow"? I've seen many a person here complain about Nextcloud's performance. For context my instance page loads in around 2.5s. I don't use Talk, Mail or the dashboard. Proxmox LXC 2core (4700u), 4gb ram, **ssd**, linuxserver's nextcloud docker image, mariadb, keydb. It also runs OnlyOffice, Drawio, excalidraw and 3 or 4 smaller services ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eirikr70 · 2023-11-24 14:26 Hello, I host my own mail server with Roundcube as a webmail, integrated with Radicale for the contacts and calendar. Hope it helps ! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kalsan15 · 2023-11-24 14:48 Thanks! I gave it another go (last time was 2 years ago) and indeed, the load times have improved by a margin! The UI has gotten a lot better as well. Perhaps I should give it another chance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GolemancerVekk · 2023-11-24 15:21 [InfCloud](https://inf-it.com/open-source/clients/infcloud/). There's a link to the demo lower on the page. It can do events, tasks and contacts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- querylab · 2023-11-24 17:40 I personally use Baïkal [https://sabre.io/baikal/](https://sabre.io/baikal/) for calendar creation. As desktop Clients, I rely on Thunderbird [https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/](https://www.thunderbird.net/en- US/) and Morgen [https://www.morgen.so](https://www.morgen.so) In addition, I have explored alternatives such as Agendav [https://github .com/agendav/agendav](https://github.com/agendav/agendav) and Manage My Damn Life [https://github.com/intri-in/manage-my-damn-life- nextjs](https://github.com/intri-in/manage-my-damn-life-nextjs) Although Nextcloud offers a wide range of services, I find it to be a rather extensive solution for my needs, considering that my primary focus is calendar usage. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kalsan15 · 2023-11-25 10:03 MMDL looks extremely interesting, thank you very much! Also, Baïkal is completely new to me, I'll evaluate it as an alternative for Agendav.
