I’m still on my little adventure of pulling my crap off the cloud and realized my calendar is still blowing around out there. What do people use for their personal calendars nowadays?

Radicale + Luna / Fossify Calendar
Radicale on my server and davx5 on my android to sync contacts and calendar.
Etar with davx5 and self-hosted Baikal
Nextcloud, CalDAV, Thunderbird.
Same, thunderbird on pc, davx5 + fossify calendar on android/grapheneos
This, but with DAVx⁵ as a CardDAV client app on Android.
Using this as well, but potentially shifting to Radicale. Nextcloud has pissed me off one too many times.
I have had zero issues for two years now using Nextcloud AIO. Use is heavy with multiple users. Planning to set up a personal one next.
Interested in hearing about the problems you’re having
But how?
I run nextcloud and have had maybe 2 update fails in the “mumbles” years I have run it, yes it is a monster with resource. So the bigger the box it’s on the better it runs
Do it.
I found no-one used the NC interface for anything, so it was a lot of maintenance for no reason.
I replaced NC with Radicale and syncthing
What maintenance is there, really? Nextcloud AIO is great
True, but, I don’t need docker or a VMM to run it in, or as many resources. Backups are easier, updates are predictable… and are adverts now a thing with the AIO?
I come from the early days when every NC point release needed a lot of tweaks to even make it work… hence the AIO was born from that mess.
I just found a simpler solution…
I use the same, I just forget about it because I hate and so rarely use my phone, haha.
Radicale + client (Thunderbird on desktop, fossify calendar on phone)
This is the way. Radicale was super easy to set up via docker.
Radicale is also really easy to setup as a “normal” package… I have it running on a Pi.
Such a small, simple system, it’s great.
I use Nextcloud. Of course that only makes sense when you use the other Nextcloud stuff as well.
fossify for “phone”
tutaCalendar to synchronise events with partner
https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fossify.calendar + https://f-droid.org/packages/de.tutao.calendar
I host a CalDAV server (specifically Nextcloud’s Calendar app, though plenty of others exist, like Radicale) and all my devices sync with it.
nano todo
SoGo server, comes with webmail, web calendar, tasks and contacts all sync able via DAVx5. I actually sell these to customers as I get these kinds of requests more and more often.
tempting but my understanding is hosting your own email means nobody will accept what you send and its constantly going to be attacked. I dont really have the chops to beat back that kind of thing.
You are talking about reputation management which is not as big a deal as you might think.
Email is a simple system but there are a lot of things at work to prevent (more like reduce) spam.
Some DNS knowledge and some friendly emails to a few abuse @ addresses and a few months of quiet reputation building and you are set.
Add a few weeks of rspamd training and you won’t see much spam either.
Opencloud for me
Have they cleaned up their docker compose setup somewhat? Last time I checked it was a hot mess
Baikal
no notifications
too much scrolling
I have a small cron job that cuts the line for the day before into yesterday.txt, so today is always at the top of the file. I don’t need notifications.
Mainly my normal phone app. But for a long time it’s not sync’d to some google cloud (which would be the default) but a Radicale instance.
I used Nextcloud before but honestly it’s a mess to maintain. So much that I would not suggest it without planning to extensively use a lot of the different available addon functions.
Just for file sharing and caldav/carddav I will pick some simple solutions (like Radicale and Syncthing) over Nextcloud any day.
interesting, I can tell my existing apple stuff to point to my own instance run on radicale instead of icloud…I dont know why I didnt consider that. its all caldav under the hood
Is CalDAV a cloud service? Usable with some email-providers Mike mailbox.org and posteo.de
