SMS/MMS backup and sync? (lemmy.world)

In my journey to self hosting and Degoogling, one thing I've missed is being able to access my phone on a computer. Is there a self hosted solution that allows syncing between text messaging and a PC/web interface?

I don't necessarily need a sophisticated Features like customer management or automation. I just want to access my messages from another device, and of course have a server based backup. The ability to reply to messages from the computer is a plus but not necessary. Is there a good option for this?

KDE Connect, works pretty well.

For a backups I think QUIK SMS on F-Droid has a backup option.

There's also one called SMS Import / Export that I haven't tested, but looks pretty simple.

I just used that for export, but I have yet to try import on it. But I'm assuming it works well, it has good reviews as far as I remember.

Tested SMS Import/Export (installed from F-droid), works fine.
