@meeper I use Radicale, but DecSync may be more your thing.

@xaetacore Getting and setting up a vps feels like a pain and struggle at and don't know what to choose. (I'd like something cheap but somewhat private and which isn't a pain to pay for)

Radicale is what I use. Get Davx from f-droid to sync.

@meeper I have a home lab with a Radicale LXC running on a Librebooted Optiplex 3050 Micro, using Davx on my Graphene phone. I use Tailscale to connect them for syncing outside my home network.

You mentioned Syncthing, and I know DecSync works with that.

@meeper @xaetacore there's nextcloud providers with some tiny free tier. Usually more than enough to sync contacts, calender, passwords and send files between devices

@meeper@udongein.xyz i meant more like building your own box and hosting it then using something like tailspin/headspin or a rev proxy to expose your services while hiding your backend.

That gives you total controll and usually its a once time investment with a new drive somewhere 6 years later

@meeper@udongein.xyz Rev proxy is under your control, You get a super cheapo VPS setup haproxy or nginx and then route that shit over a VPN tunnel to your backend or without a VPN over TLS and then firewall rules.

You control your data its not hosted somewhere that can be taken away from you

@xaetacore Honestly I'm a little baffled that I didn't consider a rp setup sooner

@xaetacore ig ddns has the advantage that routing *can* be more efficient (likely no for residential ips tho if)

@meeper@udongein.xyz is it fully encrypted?
I the control i have over the OS, i can do things to obfuscate the traffic if i need to which you cannot have if you use just ddns i think

There also could be a risk of exposing your backend with a rev proxy your connection ends at the proxy which then makes another connection to forward traffic to the backend.

This adds another layer of protection imho

@meeper I don't think so, if you're on a VPN you could probably host the caldav server on your desktop as a workaround though
