Comment on What is Radicale and how do I use it?

Exactly for what you want it for. I’ve been using it about 3 months. Contacts and calender. It’s a real pain to set up. Not straight forward. I didn’t a lot of time with ai as could not get my head round the guide.

Yeah I hear you. I’ve installed it but I have no idea what to do from here. Cant access any kind of dash. I’ve just learnt it doesn’t have a native dash but you need a third party app for that?

Take a look at the config file (
/etc/radicale/config). It’s extensively commented. Although you barely need to change any defaults for regular use.Just create an htpasswd file (with htpsswd, apache-tools or just an online generator) and edit tow lines und [auth] to read
type = htpasswdandhtpasswd_filename = <the location and file you created>.The webinterface to login will be available (by default settings) under localhost:5232.
All you have to do then is change the config so Radicale listens on the server’s IP instead so it’s available in in your network. (Plus the usual stuff of making it available from the outside if you need that like for any other sevice)
And any calendar/contact software will bring a wizard that guides you through the process of sync’ing, usually just asking for an address to reach your server, as well as user and password.
