    Take a look at Nextcloud. Open source, free, available in Debian repos,
    syncs with IOS and Mac contacts. I've been using it for several years
    now.

    I too was going to suggest Nextcloud; with the caveat that I don't see
    the server portion in the Debian Bookworm repos (though it is free and
    open source). It is also available as a managed-hosting service from
    multiple companies throughout the world if you don't want to have to
    do the hosting and maintenance yourself.

    For contacts, it speaks VCARD over HTTP/HTTPS so will sync with
    basically anything; however, the more advanced features may not map
    1:1 to the functionality of any particular other app and it's up to
    that other app how that is handled.

    I sit corrected. Nextcloud itself is not in the Debian repos, although
    a number of client and other related programs are. Thank you.

    NextCloud is currently in a phase of its life where major
    version changes are coming frequently; rather more often than
    Debian Stable releases.

    It would need to be adopted into stable-updates, and have a team
    of DDs willing to keep up with it.

    NextCloud has its own internal update mechanism, which is now fairly
    reliable (it was not in years past) so once you install it, it's
    not so bad.

    You can use davical[1]. While it focuses on caldav, it also supports carddav.

    You can use davical[1]. While it focuses on caldav, it also supports carddav.

    AFAIU there's also `radicale` (which, contrary to `davical` is also
    supported by FreedomBox).

    also, Nextcloud ships a CardDAV backend for users to store and share
    their address books and contacts.

    https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/groupware/contacts.html

    I suggested this just b/c we are using this solution for webdav/carddav.

    Thanks

    I installed radicale a while ago, it was easy, painless, and I haven't
    touched it since. From my notes.

    I followed these instructions:
