Comment on First Time Self Hoster- Need help with Radicale

I’m trying to follow the tutorial on the radicale website but am getting stuck in the “addresses” part.

From reading from the link you provided, you have to create a config file on one of two locations if they don’t exist:

“Radicale tries to load configuration files from /etc/radicale/config and ~/.config/radicale/config”

after that, add what the Addresses sections says to the file:

[server]
hosts = 0.0.0.0:5232, [::]:5232

And then start/restart Rradicale.

You should be able to access from another device with the IP of the Pi and the port after that

I made an error in my original post. Please see the edit I made.

But I think I’m understanding a bit! I need to literally create a file named “/etc/radicale/config”. Then after that I need to copy/paste the configuration file/command line into said folder. Once I do that then I should be able to move onto authentication and then addresses.

  Yes, you will need to create that config file, on one of those paths so you then continue with any of the configuration steps on the documentation, you can do that Addresses step first.
  
  A second file for the users is needed as well, that I would guess the best location would be /etc/radicale/users
  
  For the Authentication part, you will need to install the apache2-utils package with sudo apt-get install apache2-utils to use the htpasswd command to add users
  
  So the command to add users would be htpasswd -5 -c /etc/radicale/users user1 and instead of user1, your username.
  
  And what you need to add to the config file for it to read your user file would be:
  
  [auth] type = htpasswd htpasswd_filename = /etc/radicale/users htpasswd_encryption = autodetect
  
  Replacing the path with the one where you created your users file.
