This is the way! Slowly replace Nextcloud components with better things until you're no longer dependent on it
As someone who uses nextcloud exclusively for calDAV and cardDAV, what replacements are recommended?
I replaced NC with Radicale
+1 for radicale. It just sits there and works.
https://github.com/tchapi/davis uses the same library as nextcloud (and basically every other Foss calendar app) and just tries to wrap an admin interface around it.
I'm not the right person to ask this question as these 2 are the only reason I haven't nuked Nextcloud yet. Looked at Radicale but shared calendars look like a nightmare to set up. But in the era of LLMs, I may just have one of them set it all up and migrate it for me.
What to use for Calendar and Contacts management?
Yes I know about Radicale, I'm talking desktop UI wise because fuck doing any substantial event organizing on a phone.
I would like to know too, that's the last reason why i still have to host that forsaken piece of software.
I use Vivaldi's built in calendar as the UI to Radicale.
Just a suggestion
With what?

Depends on which functions of NC you're using.
Personally, I found thst no-one used the gallery, calendar or contacts apps in NC, so I replaced it all with radicale and syncthing.
But if you're using all the collaboration stuff, then you'll need to look into it a bit more.
For me, NC was way overkill, nightmare to maintain and an extra layer of software (ie vulnerabilities) exposed to the interwebs thst I didn't need
I moved to Syncthing. Some people say Seafile is good.
What should I use if I just want dumb file storage that is accesible from any device (linux/windows/android) remotely? I'm already self hosting a media server if that matters
If you don't need a web GUI, just WebDAV is a good protocol, nginx can serve files over it. SFTP is good too.
Here's a tutorial for WebDAV / Docker, it boils down to one command. No databases, performance issues, security nightmares.

"The image is only around 5.3 MB in size and the container takes around 10 MB of memory."
This looks nice, thank you
