Yo yo! Fairly new to making a change towards privacy. My brother gave me a raspberry pi 4 and I want to experiment with that before making a bigger change towards my other electronics. Rn I’m working on using radicale on the pi4 and I’m stuck because I can’t understand the technological language.
I’m trying to follow the tutorial on the radicale website but am getting stuck in the “addresses” part. I can’t enter in anything Into the initial command prompt I used to create the radicale website. And when I make a new command prompt and enter that in nothing happens. I asked AI and it spits out an answer that isn’t dumbed down enough for me. Lemmy is my last hope before I try Reddit …

Don’t try to run services without containers
IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks 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.
