Yes, fossify calendar and contacts and DAVx5 for synchronization.

How about installing a downgraded instance solely for migration and then upgrading it?

I selfhost Anysync for Anytype. In this way I can sync my notes with my family.

I'm thinking about moving my Nextcloud calendars and addressbooks to Baikal. Why? Because I like one "tool for one thing" better than "one tool for everything".

Small update: Today I moved to Baikal successfully.

It's missing some features, I noticed.

1. There are no shared addressbooks, so a shared user is needed. Addressbooks also cannot be read-only.
2. There is no birthday calendar. There is a Python script for MySQL to run from cron. I ported it to PostgreSQL today.

I migrated from Logseq to Anytype. I just took the raw contents from the directories and imported them as markdown in the desktop client.

Since I moved to PARA, everything has been archived. When I need a page from the archive I edit it to make it look better.

No I didn't. You should really read the upgrade guide:

You cannot skip major releases.

So you seriously expect an upgrade from major version 20 or less to major version 31 going well?

It's like upgrading from Windows 3.1 to Windows 11.

What's wrong with following the official upgrade procedure? Don't complain about missing tables or indices then.

The most important thing is that the software does not break and you can maneuver out of every bad situation. This is important for self-hosting.

I don't care if it's PHP. Many good things are written in PHP. I find Python and Ruby much worse for web applications. Not because of the language, but because it's hard to maneuver out of some situations.

That said I didn't have many problems with Nextcloud. The only thing I criticize is that it solves too many problems at once.

I run Netbox for documentation only. But your approach is what I actually wanted to do, if I just had plenty of time.

My preferences are quite different.

You'll need a lot of RAM for all the containers, 64 GB is nice. A CPU that saves power when idle is fine. You'll need at least 16 TB storage (32 TB RAID1). SATA HDD is fine, when you have ZFS and cache using SSDs. Never use USB for drives.

It does not need to be quiet. Just put it in the basement and close the door.

Me too. I don't know what OP means by "distributed" but "not highly available" and at the same time "rsync or unison is enough", "but not NFS".

This is somehow contradicting itself.

How about getting paid properly?

Yeah, I've even seen people making presentation slides in Excel. Why ever use anything else? 😉

I agree. Nextcloud is not so great. It does too many things. It's still OK to use it, because it replaces file sharing in the cloud and you can have your own addressbook or contacts without sacrificing privacy in the Google cloud.

Nothing special. It just runs and updates well. It also tells you what you forgot to do.

I thought about using a dedicated addressbook, calendar and file sharing, but I'd need to have some time and at the moment it's just running without headaches.

I just wanted to know what those SMS are about. This year I got 1 SMS from an actual human being. Obviously he forgot that I read emails 1000x more often than messages.

I'm a bit curious. I don't get many SMS. Maybe 10 a year. Mostly 2FA from companies who are too dumb to implement TOTP. And got only 1 MMS in my life.

What do you need SMS/MMS for?

Or their subsidiary: Netcup.

I use Nextcloud for that. On Android phone it's DAVx5. Thunderbird can use the contact via CardDAV, DAVx5 syncs them with the Android addressbook. Fossify Contacts is nicer than the Google contacts app.

The same way it's done with my appointments. I have also replaced the native Google calendar with the Fossify Calendar here, because it's less annoying.

TLS is a transport encryption. PGP is content encryption. The latter one is what is most important, even if almost no one uses it.

Dear Peter, we need people like you in Europe. You're welcome here.
