Oh wow! I think I was the one that started talking about Owncloud. I'm
still where I left off because the person I was working with to get
mail/ssl working on my server stopped responding. I still have and use
the old version of Owncloud (working OK but old enough that latest sync
clients won't talk to it) on my in-house server.
I'm now unemployed again so hopefully soon I'll be able to attack both
the mail server and Owncloud. I was unaware of this split, but it looks
like Nextcloud is the way to go. See the comparison between then
https://nextcloud.com/compare/ and Owncloud's response to the split
https://owncloud.com/owncloud-statement-concerning-formation-nextcloud-frank-karlitschek/
Since installing Owncloud on my Linode server was a failure, I am
excited about trying Nextcloud instead, but maybe inside docker as in
your previous link.
Thanks!

I got a private message alerting me to the OSS developers moving off Owncloud
to perform their work on a forked project Nextcloud, so that's what I'm
exploring now. It kinda-sorta replaces the idea of iCloud, and a lot of the
google sync features, neither of which I've ever brought myself to trust. This
tool will finally allow me to keep most of my iPhone's content synced to my
personal servers.
It looks like I've got calendar and contacts sync working, though there aren't
really good tools for import/export of existing content (e.g. my 400+ contacts
in the phone need to be manually imported to the Nextcloud). And the iPhone's
settings screens are notoriously awful to figure out: the software maintains
completely separate internal tables for multiple contact lists and multiple
calendars, so you have to do some reading to figure out how to set the
defaults to Nextcloud instead of local.
Even with all that, though, this looks like something I should've pursued back
in 2013 when I first heard the software title Owncloud. If you've got trust
issues and "don't love the Cloud", read about it!
