Same. The basic stuff works and i managed to replace recipes with nextcloud cookbook but its quite heavy caldav notes and tasks support on ios would be wonderful but i couldnt find something that integrates into our workflow and systems.
Home Assistant was not on my radar. Thank you!
I currently rent a VM running nextcloud for family use. It currently shows its age with all the nescessary tinkering to keep it current. (also have to use the hosters db which is … difficult)
I’m thinking along the same lines…
a smallffpc at home, dyn to my home ip, wireguard as a vpn into my home, The server runs: radicale caldav carddav, ksmbd family photos.
my main problem: this needs to work on ios and android and linux and windows, reliably, which it currently does not in my test setup.
currently lacking a solution for recipe sharing and shopping list sharing. Maybe setting up nextcloud on my own server is less of a hassle_…
I personally know someone who uses something he calls “Dutch reach-around” and while I’m hazy on the details, I know it starts with some complex setup of a charitable foundation in your home country, with real people and real money and a network of firms and other foundations in the Netherlands that are somehow interwoven. He told me “setup is cheap, only 5 million dollars up front, you can ask my tax attorney for the deets”…
That was a nice move, but no thank you, this is not the kind of money I have lying around.
Bonus how us firms do it, I imagine this costs also a lot of money up front…
