@KingDingbat I don't have a good answer for you (I'm in a similar situation, with my wife stuck using both google calendar and microsoft's extremely shitty calendar, while I use radicale). However, depending upon your goals for self-hosting your calendar, I'd ask whether you really *want* google seeing your calendar entries. If your goal is independence, then fine. If one of your goals is privacy, then sharing your calendar entries w/ google messes that up.
