Opencloud instead of nextcloud
Or, just radicale and syncthing (if you don't need a webUI)
Syncthing isn't quite the same
I'd be more likely to use a SMB share
True... could be both... or perhaps copyparty.
I was thinking more along the colab side, where syncthing is working on your laptop and mine to sync our files, rather than central storage, but fair point.
I have a working radicale lxc currently powered off because the integration is almost 100% app dependant on a Googlefied device. I can apparent just add a caldav easy as that in graphene but my wife's aosp device ala Google fi needs an app and they ask y seem to suck.
Radicale just implements CalDAV and CardDAV so use any clients you want.
I'm mostly using the Fossify from F-Droid - their calendar, contacts, all work with DAVx5 syncing to radicale and it works fine... no 3rd party tracking my dentist appointments.
I also have TrackerControl running on my phone, so I know that there's no tracking.
I use owncloud
If I'm only looking for document storage and maybe a caldav (Android caldav options are rough) what would be best?
