Yeah, for me I primarily use Syncthing just for syncing between servers and computer.

I switched to Migadu for my primary email which includes CalDav and CardDav. I also run Hydroxide in my K8s cluster for Protonmail syncing on Apple Mail -- I could also switch to that for CalDav and CardDav if I wanted to.

There isn't much I actually need Syncthing for on my phone nowadays. Even if I was back on Android I can't think of much I would need it for -- for my workflows.

> Nextcloud is what I ended up using

Nextcloud has always been one of those projects I appreciate so much but find so bloatey for me as a single user and always end up getting rid of shortly after I install it. I feel like if I had a team of users (work, friends or family) who fully committed to using it then I would love it.

Btw, none of this is meant as a criticism to your setup -- it sounds perfect!

Where did you see the info for setting this up with Migadu? I believe they've had it as an unadvertised beta feature and the only write-up I found is this older one:

There's also instructions about caldav only on the migadu site here:

Yeah, I reached out to their support a while ago to ask about it and they made me aware of the CardDav/CalDav instance at cdav.migadu.com. But yes, my understanding is the same as yours in that it is an unadvertised beta feature.

I can't remember the ports but if you point a CardDav/CalDav client at cdav.migadu.com they pick up the settings automatically. I've done this on iOS, Android, MacOS and Linux and they all seem to work perfectly for me with Migadu.
