I’m trying to de-Google my life and self-host more. One tricky point with me is calendaring. I can get a CalDav server running and syncing with my Android phone without much hassle, but I haven’t yet found a server or client that can send e-mail reminders for events, rather than just pop-up notifications.
I’ve been told to try Nextcloud. I tried installing it but it’s overkill for me, and I don’t want to deal with setting up a domain. Surely there can’t be exactly one CalDav option that can send email reminders. But I’ve never heard anyone say anything other than “Nextcloud.”
I know you said “no nextcloud”, but I often see posts from people who say nextcloud was overkill for them, but they don’t realise that almost every component of nextcloud can be uninstalled if you don’t want it. It can be pretty barebones if you want it to be.
I don’t see how you’re going to get away from the domain requirement, though, unless you’re just going to connect to your raw IP address? (And if you are, I didn’t think that nextcloud required a domain?)
Sorry I can’t be more helpful with a different solution, but hopefully someone out there knows of something that would suit your needs.
My raw IP wouldn’t help, my ISP has me behind CGNAT. I can set up a CalDav server and sync it with Tailscale, but can’t do that for Nextcloud.
You can bypass CGNAT easily. Look here. I sync contacts, calender, tasks, everything from Nextcloud.
Why can’t you sync NC over Tailscale?
have you looked at awesome-selfhosted at all?
I use SoGo for that.
Cal and task sync. Card dav, Email und calendar in one neat web interface
This looks quite promising, thank you! I’ll be trying that.
