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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

hello everynody, Right now i am selfhosting several services for my family in an effort to de-google all our services.

Right now i am facing difficulties to host a server that can be use to sync smartphone contacts from diffurent users (my family) and keeping them separated.

does anybody recommend any server able to serve this goal? and if the auth backend can be connected to an LDAP server even better.

regards and thanks

I do this with nextcloud (and lldap for the user management). Though that could probably be overkill for just contacts and calendars.

I already tried nextcloud but it doesn't seems to support a proper a sync (2 ways sync), in addition the address book appears to be common to all nextcloud users.

So unless you can tell me I am doing something wrong it doesn't look like an option

It does allow sync for each of your LDAP users, but it may require an app on your phone. I use the same setup and have had success with DAVx on android.

Yes, same for me. On android DAVx5 is perfect, and on MacOS, iOS there is native support. For Linux and Windows, your mileage may vary (fairly easy on Linux but very different variations and some require additional software).

Ok, Thanks to all, it seems I am doing something wrong with my nextcloud instance. I will double check again to see what the problem could be
