FOSS contacts storage/sync? (lemm.ee)

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!

Thanks! I mean, etesync also has a super basic web UI. I meant some sort of calendar/contacts web editing tool, like calendar.google.com or similar. I've just installed a docker image of Radicale, but all I can see is the webUI for adding/removing collections, nothing else...Etesync also has this. They also provide a webUI editor, but it's a separate tool to install elsewhere, that requires another URL to be running. I'd like to have both server and a webUI to handle users, collections, and the individual items/calendars/contacts of the collections as well.

I hadn't looked too much into Radicale, so thanks for the info. What is their second webUI you mentioned called? If you're looking for an all in one server, Nextcloud may be your best option. Its a bit heavier though for just contacts and calendar. If you do go down this path, I've heard the docker AIO container is easier to maintain.
