hello everynody, Right now i am selfhosting several services for my family in an effort to de-google all our services.
Right now i am facing difficulties to host a server that can be use to sync smartphone contacts from diffurent users (my family) and keeping them separated.
does anybody recommend any server able to serve this goal? and if the auth backend can be connected to an LDAP server even better.
regards and thanks

I do this with nextcloud (and lldap for the user management). Though that could probably be overkill for just contacts and calendars.

I already tried nextcloud but it doesn’t seems to support a proper a sync (2 ways sync), in addition the address book appears to be common to all nextcloud users.
So unless you can tell me I am doing something wrong it doesn’t look like an option

It supports a proper sync (my wife’s shared events do show up on my phone) and the address book is specific to each user by default, but you can create shared address books as well. Again, that is synced two ways.
For LDAP, by default nextcloud only reads it. But you can enable LDAP writing as well.

It does allow sync for each of your LDAP users, but it may require an app on your phone. I use the same setup and have had success with DAVx on android.
