When I wanted to have a shared calendar with my spouse, at first I was very motivated to go full self-hosted and spent quite some time to investigate CalDAV, CardDAV, the server implementations (Wikipedia has a good feature matrix), the client implementations (of course there is no builtin way to synchronize an android phone with calDAV, even if the software managing Google calendar sync must be more or less the same...). In the end I managed to have it work on my phone with an a ad-hoc server, but was not really sure that would be the good solution for my problem since I would still have to host that on a publicly reachable place, with my own implementation of access control and to configure everything on both of our phones... In the end I figured that there must have been some way to share a calendar between Google accounts as I had used at work, and found out about the family group https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/6286986?sjid=31... and family calendar https://support.google.com/families/answer/7157782?hl=en&co=... Google features. Five minutes later we had a working synchronized calendar, even if I am still a bit sad to be dependent of Big G instead of relying on a open standard...
