Databag's design overview document (https://github.com/balzack/databag/blob/main/doc/design_overview.md) contains this wonderful introduction:
With all the wonderful things technology provides, it also has its darker side. Technology is increasingly used to violate our privacy and manipulate our beliefs and actions. End-to-end encryption has become standard and restores some of that privacy, but only addresses part of the problem. Self-hosting goes much further in providing true self-sovereignty while allowing technology to grow in a way that is beneficial to everyone.
Self-hosting involves running your own server to host a variety of services. These services can also be made available to friends and family. While self-hosting is gaining traction, it still remains mostly limited to those that are very technical. Without reaching the average person the impact and benefit of self-hosting also remains limited.
Wise words -- both paragraphs. Time to try Databag.
