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?!

    I don’t mind a bit of proprietary-ness, what I’m after is controlling how and with whom I can share my data.

    Essentially the goal is to have a family’s worth of accounts with Calendars, To-Dos/Reminders, and Notes that I can back up myself but still allows syncing to phones/PCs, etc. and basically a central calendar for ‘global’ (ie. Whole family) events.

      While the ‘global’ calendar I’m not 100% sure on (sharing a calendar with all users I guess does it), synology does everything else. I’ve had my folks slowly migrate to my server over the last couple years, and we haven’t done calendars yet (hence my uncertainty), we have files, photos, I have todo and calendar, along with plex and others. It has to just work and be inexpensive, and this nas checks both boxes (hardware notwithstanding; no subscription costs).
