Selfhosted Family Email and Calendar (lemmy.world)

Hello friends!

My first attempt at a selfhosting project is up and running.

My goal was to make a private email and calendar system for my family. As it is private, as in we only email each other, I don't have to worry about delivery blocks or spam. The system needs to support 12 users. Turned out it was easier than I though it would be!

Here is my stack:

Right now we are using the native android calendar app but I would love suggestions for a better calendar app.

Happy Hosting!

I self-host Nextcloud and use it extensively (if not primarily) for Calendar. All my calendars are hosted and synced with WebDav and I use a variety of clients but mainly Thunderbird desktop.

This right here. Nextcloud is also great for syncing your address book via CardDAV, even allowing for a shared contacts list with your significant other for contacts you both need to access.

Are you using the All-in-One docker setup?

Not personally. I prefer to run bare metal whenever possible. It helps me understand how everything connects, it's the difference between being handed someone else's completed Lego sculpture and building it yourself, it takes a lot longer but you'll have way more appreciation for it after building it and a much more thorough understanding of how it's all put together and what's involved, and you're a lot better equipped to fix it if a piece breaks off.
