  Radicale. I just finished setting it up and with that, I can now finally shut down Nextcloud.

    How do you handle shared calendars with radicale?

    source

    • mr_pip@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      There is a symlink trick on the server side. It’s a little annoying that it is only a workaround, but one set up it’s great! I was looking for the git issue where i found it, but was only able to find this one (it seems to be documented now).

    Why do you want to shut down Nextcloud? 🤔

    source

    • non_burglar@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I had a very old install, migrated from 2016. It broke on nearly every upgrade, where I’d have to invoke some occ command to fix the db. It was more work than was worth having Nextcloud.

      Now I have syncthing and radicale.

      Not the pne you replied to, but for me it works to add the full path to another users calendar in davx5, and then setting appropriate permissions to it in the rights file.

    Agree, very lightweight, simple once-and-forget setup.

  Nextcloud 🤷‍♂️

  source

  • BlueBockser@programming.dev ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I’m using Nextcloud as well, but I’ll admit that it’s probably a bit heavy if all one needs is a calendar.

    source

    • handsoffmydata@lemmy.zip ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Definitely overkill for just a calendar app but the great thing about NextCloud is once you spin it up there’s probably an integration for the next 5 FOSS solutions you’re looking for, which means fewer containers to manage in Docker.

  I have had positive experiences with both Radicale and Baikal. I am not sure about the Home Assistant integration, but they both use CalDAV, so I would be surprised if there wasn’t a way of connecting them. iOS has native support for CalDAV, but Android needs the davx5 app (free on F-Droid).

  source

  • gedaliyah@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I’ve found radicale more stable in my implementation, but both are very good and are pretty similar to use.

    If you already have NextCloud/OwnCloud it would be a good to use the Calendar that is already built in, but it doesn’t make sense to install those for a calendar when there are better options available.

    source

    • ProperlyProperTea@lemmy.ml ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I tried both and for some reason Baikal just played nicer. I’m sure either is fine though.

      Nextcloud was too bulky for my needs.

    Tasks.org also works great with CalDAV. On f-droid as well.

  Last time I checked, radicale and baikal were the sensible options. I went with radicale, no regrets, but not in a container.

  source

  • possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Why no container?

    source

    • a14o@feddit.org ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Oh I’m sure it runs perfectly fine in a container, it’s just not my preferred setup.

      source
• RedBauble@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I used both radicale and baikal. Both work great. Both support CalDAV and CardDAV, to sync with them you need thr davx5 app on android. I ended up going with radicale because it supports proxy authentication and I can use it with Authelia

  source

  • Ohh@lemmy.ml ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    When I installed radicale last, i had problems with auth and exposing it. I think either I misunderstood something or it was left as an exercise for the reader. Anyways…

    source

    • nshibj@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I’m a noob and I managed to set it up following mostly these instructions that make user of this docker compose file. I remember I had to do something slightly different, but I managed to figure it out relatively easily. You could have a look at it and see if it helps.

      source
    • RedBauble@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      The documentation says what settings you need to enable for it to work. It also says that it takes the remote user in the X-Remote-User header. I use Authelia and it puts the remote user in the Remote-User instead, so i added a middleware to traefik that renames the header to the one expected by radicale. The only problem remaining is that radicale presents the auth page anyway, and you have to login with the same username as the auth header but with any password

  I use Radicals för it.

• black_flag@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I tried radicale. Nextcloud is easier to manage. That’s what I recommend.

  • mr_pip@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    i don’t think the need for a plain calendar warrants a resource monster such as nextcloud.

    source
• A_norny_mousse@feddit.org ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  The protocol is called CalDAV (and CardDAV for contacts).

  Plenty applications exist that can do it on both sides - it’s not like you need a specific client app that fits your specific server app.

  FWIW, I find NextCloud too bloated and prefer Radicale for the above mentioned.

  And yes, it runs in Docker.

  Fossify Calendar in f-droid and Nextcloud.
  Termux calcurse-caldav and Nextcloud.

  source

  • zerodawn@leaf.dance ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    So I understand this correctly, you’re using Fossify Calendar as the phone app that accesses your self-hosted calendar?

    source

    • fireshell@kbin.earth ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      That's right, if Fossify Calendar doesn't support your phone you can get an alternative Etar via DAVx⁵

      source
• nickall@feddit.it ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Baikal is another option, light on resources and easy to setup

• cobwoms@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  i had radicale working as you describe with home assistant and mobile/desktop apps for years

  source
• Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  What about a web GUI for calendars? Not nextcloud.

  source

  • smiletolerantly@awful.systems ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    InfCloud. Works well with Radicale, and does contacts, too.

    It’s not pretty, but works very well for the 5/100 times I want to check through a browser instead of Calendar app / Thunderbird.

    source

    • Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Thanks, i also found this github.com/ckulka/infcloud-docker dockerization of infCloud, will try that one when i have time.

      source
• poVoq@slrpnk.net ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  github.com/tchapi/davis is a good option.

  source
• Nomad@infosec.pub ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I use sogo for that. Includes a web interface as well as proper authentication mechanisms and sync integration. Is also lightweight and even allows LDAP integration oif you like.
