Europe Pub (PieFed)Self hosted calendar
submitted by
I'm looking for a self hosted calendar that supports multiple users, runs in docker, and is easy to integrate into home assistant and a phone app. Does anything like this exist or should i lower my expectations?
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).
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.
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.
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?
Why do you want to shut down Nextcloud? 🤔
Last time I checked, radicale and baikal were the sensible options. I went with radicale, no regrets, but not in a container.
Why no container?
Oh I'm sure it runs perfectly fine in a container, it's just not my preferred setup.
I use Radicale för it.
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
i had radicale working as you describe with home assistant and mobile/desktop apps for years
Nextcloud 🤷♂️
You can connect nextcloud to home assistant, I do that
What about a web GUI for calendars? Not nextcloud.
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.
Thanks, i also found this https://github.com/ckulka/infcloud-docker dockerization of infCloud, will try that one when i have time.
https://github.com/tchapi/davis is a good option.
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.
I tried radicale. Nextcloud is easier to manage. That's what I recommend.
