I already have a pikapods.com account, which means I could run a nextcloud instance for about $7/month (to start, no idea how much it would be if I actually imported everything) and replace GMail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, etc. So, umm, maybe I don't need a guide, I just need willpower.
The scariest thing is probably going through my password manager and figuring out EVERYWHERE I've used Login With Google and migrating those to a password.
