Nextcloud, 100 percent. I've been running mine for years and highly recommend it.
I was thinking about that but I think Nextcloud is a bit too much for my needs
The AIO container is pretty effortless to run.
You can utilize how much or how little of Nextcloud's features you need. Why do you think Nextcloud would be too much for you?
Why do you think Nextcloud would be too much for you?
I had the idea that I had to install the whole solution
You can just spin up the Docker and disable most of the features you don't need, as they come as addons
My email calendars I leave alone, but I use caldav for personal calendar and tasks.
I use radicale as caldav server, and tasks.org on android and thunderbird on computer. Tasks.org works very well
I also use silverbullet (silverbullet.md) for more complex todo lists
I'm also using Radicale and I've landed on the Calengoo app because it can do both events and tasks in the same app. It's amazingly customizable and it can sync directly if needed, bypassing the Android account system. If you buy it directly off the website you get a perpetual license that doesn't depend on Google Play.
I can highly recommend Baïkal.
I second this
What clients do you use with it?
Fossify Calendar and Fossify Contacts on Android and Thunderbird in Linux.
Fossify Calendar
How to use it with Baikal, I enabled CalDav but I can only see local and gmail calendars. Do I have to use DAVx5 ?
Yes, it's not too hard to set up. And after setting up davx5 i think you have to enable access to synced calendars in fossify calendar settings
Yes. You have to use DAVx5.
PHP warning.
What's wrong with PHP? :) Baïkal was just recently updated and supports the newest PHP versions
Radicale? https://radicale.org/v3.html I have not used it much myself yet. Its very minimal and focused on calendar stuff.
I use Radicale for my calendars, reminders, and contacts precisely because of how minimal it is. It has been very reliable for me and is very easy to back up and restore since it is just files.
Really nice and comprehensive looking page. Should probably test drive that some day. Thanks.
Radicale (server) + tasks.org (Smartphone) + Errands (Linux w Flatpak)
For anyone who uses Todoist and Notion or Todoist and Gcal this looks brilliant. It's almost carbon copy so the learning curve should be minimal. I'm gonna go all in on this.
Syncing the calendar db and Todo.txt file with syncthing should also be possible and would be a solution that doesn't need a server at all.
I use next cloud calendars I can sync it with my phone using davx
For ToDos maybe Vikunja? Could be a bit much tbh.
Not explicitly calendar software but I find logseq surprisingly good for this stuff.
I use radicale for everything that isn't a calendar
On a related note, is it possible to sync all my tasks on Simply (fossify) Calender with a Caldev server. Also does anyone know if there is a good client with Caldev sync on Windows ? I know thunderbird has that functionality, but I would prefer a standalone calender instead of an email client.
I believe you can do this with DAVx5. I have calendars syncing to fossify with it.
Thanks for confirming
I have Simple Calendar synced to Nexctclouds CalDav using DAVx5, syncs just fine.
I don't know if Merkuro Calendar has been ported to Windows yet
Merkuro calender actually looks really good but yeah as of now it's only on linux.
