I’m tired of being tied to specific calendars and to-do apps because of difficulties in sharing and syncing my data, so I’d like to be able to manage it myself, either self hosting or using someone else’s servers.

I already pay for web-hosting for a personal website (wordpress) but beyond this I’m totally at a loss.

My main goal is incredibly simple - I just want to host some notes and calendars for my family (tomavoid headaches when phones invariably break and so on), which I feel can’t be too hard but I’m also incredibly stupid.

Please help?!

    Linode has some cool “turnkey” solutions for this. One example: https://www.linode.com/marketplace/apps/nextcloud/nextcloud/

    So instead of doing a reverse proxy or vpn on self hosted hardware you would be renting linode servers that are already connected. Then you just have to follow the instructions to hook up a domain or add the relevant dns records.

    Either way is fine it just depends on what you’re comfortable with and what you have on hand/want to buy.
