So…yeah. As I’m moving away from google, I’d like to store my contacts elsewhere. I have proton (I know, I know), but this is also not great, since their system isn’t too android-friendly. Which system (maybe self-hosted) would you suggest to easily sync/backup your contacts?
Thanks!
Sync to a CalDAV/CardDAV server instead of to Google. If you’re up for self-hosting, Radicale is a good and simple one.
I use DAVx⁵ on Android and Thunderbird on the desktop. Other sync clients are listed here: https://radicale.org/v3.html#supported-clients
Thanks! I was trying a first run attempt, but I got stuck setting up python. Seems these setup instructions don’t quite work anymore due to python’s virtual environment, pipx is suggested now. Alternatively I saw the option to just install a dated version, but it was quite a bunch of releases behind. I gave up and had a bit more success with Etesync server. Although I’m trying now to figure how the hell am I to setup both the server and the web client on the same running environment…I’d like to host the web client too, so I can edit calendar entries from the web UI.
