So…yeah. As I’m moving away from google, I’d like to store my contacts elsewhere. I have proton (I know, I know), but this is also not great, since their system isn’t too android-friendly. Which system (maybe self-hosted) would you suggest to easily sync/backup your contacts?

Thanks!

    what would you do without selfhosting?

    I do that for myself, but I can’t recommend that to 99% of people around me, and I can’t let them into my system either.

    I have seen etesync, but that requires a subscription.
    was thinking of something with syncthing, but that has difficulties too (missing tools mostly), especially that you would have to keep the contacts file at a place where nearly any app can read it.

      In matters where a server is needed, you generally have three options:

      • self-host
      • get a friend/colleague/employer to host
      • pay for a host
