hacker news is the perfect place to come to if you're thinking "is NextCloud the best solution here? Are there others?" because people will tell you.

But looking at these comments, it seems as though NextCloud is, far and away, the preferred choice.

It's just the pony that does it all there are better services just for cal/carddav or file syncing but then you have 5 services running instead of 1.

the popularity is deserved as there exist adjacent apps and community forums for help. The minimal chat/webrtc solution "Talk" is great for family and friends, the (Android) Talk App itself made leaps last year. It will also write plaintext rows per chatline to the db, but that's okay. Things transferred via webdav can be clientside encrypted, cal- and carddav again is cleartext. Etesync can do it encrypted but then you'd leave the all-in-one package. It's even more fun with customroms having davx and a webdav sync solution already integrated.
