Comment on Radicale - What am I supposed to do?

Everything should run under their own user when possible. This software is not using a privileged port (< 1000) so it doesn’t need root.
The docs seem a bit lazy if that is not recommended, possibly it will try to access some files it does not have access to.

So I make a new user for it, but NOT root?

You make a new user specifically to run Radicale processes. The user should have write access only to Radicale’s directories, nothing else.
