I would like to store my contacts/addressbook on my own server.
Required features:
- self-hosted
- open source
- can sync to Android and Thunderbird
- Runs on linux
-
Just for contacts (and nothing else), Nextcloud would be a bit overkill, as there are more leight-weight solutions like Baïkal or Radicale (AFAIR both for contacts and calendars). – Izzy♦ Nov 1 '18 at 19:13

@Izzy if you have experience with one of these tools, please write an answer. I have used tine20 and nextcloud, and I like nextcloud very much. Works well. – guettli Nov 2 '18 at 7:49

I also use Nextcloud, as I need more than just contacts & calendar. The other 2 I have not used myself, otherwise I had written an answer :) I only know 2nd hand that the two should work well and are resource friendly. // Never heard of tine20, though. – Izzy♦ Nov 2 '18 at 10:54
Nextcloud can do this. See https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/contacts
It is ready for self-hosting, open source, can sync to Android and Thunderbird and runs on linux.
Docs how to sync with thunderbird are here: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/13/user_manual/pim/sync_thunderbird.html
You need the thunderbird plugin CardBook.
