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:

  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.

It's Sunday somewhere already so why wait?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I'll post my ongoing things later/tomorrow but I didn't want to forget the post again.

The Google account is still there, I've just hidden each of those calendars. New events seem to default to whichever calendar you used last (citation needed) so once you've created an event under the NextCloud account, it should default to that. The app I use (Business Calendar Pro) doesn't even give the option if a particular calendar is disabled.

As far as DAVx^5^, the default is to only sync every 4 hours. Phone to NC is instant (once DAVx sees the change), but NC to Phone has a delay. However!...

I just set up the ntfy app to create instant two way sync both ways. It's pretty slick. Dig around in the DAVx^5^ documentation about how that works. You install the DAV Push app on the NC server, ntfy on your phone, enable UnifiedPush in the DAVx settings, do a little dance, and then NC notifies DAVx every time there's a change.

Edit: you can also delete calendars from Google Calendar settings on the web, but this is obviously permanent. I think you can also totally remove Calendar from your account.

Edit2: You can't remove calendar from your account, only delete individual calendars.
