Hi everyone
I posted before here. I’ll try once more but don’t want to get over bearing.
I’m trying to self host all my contacts and my calendar.
I’ve managed to install radicale but there very little ui and I’m not actually sure how to import my contacts and calendar, or how to start using it with a client.
This is all I see
I’ve set up the calendar and contacts server but I can’t find any security settings to password protect it
Any guidance would be awesome, thank you
You forget about that UI. Only used to create users. Then use. Cardiac/cal app like Dav5X on Android or similar to connect and do all the stuff like create, import etc
See my wiki at https://wiki.gardiol.org/7-services/radicale
It also shows how to install infCloud to get an actual web GUI to use calendars from your server
Infcloud is the only presentble web ui for webdav/cldav/carddav, but as far as I remember its unmaintained
InfCloud is the last and only functional, standalone, web-based CalDAV frontend currently in existence. It doesn’t really matter how crap it is because there’s no alternative. And besides CalDAV/CardDAV are not exactly rapidly-evolving anymore.
There are a handful of alternative frontends bundled with other webapps, for example Nextcloud includes one, but if you don’t want to install Nextcloud just for that you’re stuck with InfCloud.
I really wish someone would make a modern standalone webapp for this but no luck so far.
Having worked at some point on some calendar interfaces I can appreciate why, because they’re super intricate and difficult.
Hi! Late reply, I only found this thread now.
You wished someone would make a modern standalone web app for this. I’ve been building one for the contacts side: it edits cards on a CardDAV server, tested against Radicale, Xandikos and Baïkal. It’s contacts only, no calendar, so it doesn’t fill the CalDAV gap you described (I agree that part is much harder), but for contacts it gives you a full editor in the browser !
There’s a demo with made-up contacts if you want to look: https://demo.natel.app/contacts Code (MIT): https://github.com/KewinDousse/natel
It’s still beta, so feedback is welcome.
