First Time Self Hoster- Need help with Radicale

  Just a heads-up to anyone who - like me - thought this was about Radicle and got confused about mentions of caldav/cardav/LDAP… Radicale != Radicle

  Don’t try to run services without containers

  • IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    You absolutely can run services without containers and when learning and trying things out I’d say it’s even preferable. Docker is a whole another beast to manage and has a learning curve of it’s own.

    Containers can of course be useful but setting everything up, configuring networking, managing possible integrations with other components (for example authentication via LDAP) it’s often simpler just to run the thing “in traditional way”. With radicale you can just ‘apt install radicale’ (or whatever you’re using) and have a go with it without extra layer of stuff you need to learn before getting something out of the thing. And even on production setups it might be preferred approach to go with ‘bare metal’, but that depends on quite a few variables.

      Docker makes is easier though especially with docker compose

    Don’t listen to this person.

    He’s part of a culture that can’t tolerate people doing things differently.

    There is an official image in the main repo, github.com/Kozea/Radicale, ghcr.io/kozea/radicale.

  Do you mean this config option?

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

  That is binding the service to a network interface and port. For example your computer probably has a loopback interface and an Ethernet interface and WiFi interface. And you can bind to an IPv4 and or IPv6 address on those interfaces. Which ones do you want radicale to listen to traffic from and on what port? The example above listens on all interfaced both IPv4 and IPv6 and uses port 5323 on all. Of course that port must not be in use on any interface. Generally using this notation is insecure, but fine for testing. Put the real IP addresses when you’re ready.

    I thought I was stuck there but I misspoke. I made an edit to the original post. Thanks for the insight tho! In sure that’ll be helpful once I actually get there.

  So you need to understand a bit more about addresses here. If you access the website from the pi it will be localhost:5232 as the address using the defaults. Form another machine it will be ipofpi:5232

  As said below you need to make a file to specify that address, but the defaults given will end up with the above ip addresses. It is a http, not a https as well. So config the address used via the documentation and then access it how you’d like to. This is used because you can, if you wish, specify a different port (5232 is the default)
  
  I hope that helps

  I set up mine through docker and it works great. I’ve switched from other CalDAV / CardDAV hosts and it really is the most stable and reliable.

  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.

  radicals might be in your distro’s package repos.

  looks like the “addresses” part is for the config file.

  • BlackSnack@lemmy.zip ⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I misspoke earlier. I wasn’t having issues with the addresses part, I didn’t even make it that far. I’m stuck on authentication. I updated the original post and added a pic for clarity.
