What do you do for a calendar? New to selfhosting/homelab.

Hey All, I am just getting started in my journey. Part of my goals is to de-google my life and am looking to start with my calendar. I want to to sync with my laptop and my phone. I was going to start reading about nextcould because it seems like it would have the stuff I need and more. My question is what does the community use, so that I can read and research about it. No technical questions yet.


Edit: Not sure why I cannot see the replies when signed in (visible when logged out). Will be checking out your suggestions. Thanks Self Hosted community!

Home Assistant. I wouldn't use it just for calendars, but I already had it set up for home automation and calendars are a built in feature.

Does it have a way to sync with mobile devices? I’ve not run into such an integration, but thought I’d ask just in case.

The Local Calendar integration stores the calendar on the server running Home Assistant, so as long as you can access the server remotely, you should be able to access it through the Home Assistant app. If you want it stored offline on a mobile device, there's also an integration for calendars stored in a .ics file which you could sync with something like syncthing.
