I just installed Radicale and could not at first figure out how to add a calendar that I could edit in the app. And since I could not find any decent post on the topic, here is how to do it (as of iOS 18.7.3 on an iPhone 13 pro, but I imagine the process being very similar on other devices):

Open the Settings application.
Scroll to the bottom and open the Apps options.
Open settings for the Calendar application.
Open Calendar accounts.
Add a new account.
Chose "other".
Chose "CalDav-account".
Enter URL and credentials for your Radicale server.

I have SSL set up with Let's Encrypt managed with Caddy so that was all I had to do. I say this because I read one discussion about SSL being needed.

I also didn't like that on iPhone a majority of the useful settings are buried in dark corners that are difficult to find. Not very helpful at all
