I’m trying to de-Google my life and self-host more. One tricky point with me is calendaring. I can get a CalDav server running and syncing with my Android phone without much hassle, but I haven’t yet found a server or client that can send e-mail reminders for events, rather than just pop-up notifications.
I’ve been told to try Nextcloud. I tried installing it but it’s overkill for me, and I don’t want to deal with setting up a domain. Surely there can’t be exactly one CalDav option that can send email reminders. But I’ve never heard anyone say anything other than “Nextcloud.”
It looks like I’m gonna call that my “second to last resort.” I’m not a programmer or developer of any kind, and that looks pretty intense for me.
It uses “visual programming” so it is actually quite easy to do (as long as you use the pre-made modules) even without any prior knowledge. And once you set that up you will likely find many other neat ways to use it 😊
