I'm looking for a selfhostable calendar web app that I could connect to my already running Baikal setup. I know nextcloud has a calendar, but I don't necessarily want to bother with a whole nextcloud installation.
Anyone know a webapp for that?

Any caldav web app should be able to do it.

Any reason it needs to be a webapp and not a native app for your OS?

Yes.. and where are those? I know of agendav and infcloud, both of which are not that good: agendav is not currenly maintained and infcloud is a mess to set up.

I didn't realize I need the same thing until I read your post.

AgenDAV is in maintenance mode, but they also say:

New features may be added by PRs however. New features may be proposed in issues tickets, send as Pull Requests, and the maintainers will review and presumably merge them. PRs for bugfixes are welcome and will be reviewed & merged.

I'm going to check it out.

I tested it and it's not that reliable. At least for me it didn't let me see events in the future (next 1,2,3 months) and I wasn't able to modify an existing event, so I gave up. I also don't have the time right now to open issues in their repo.

I want my wife to be able to use it without having to install anything

I haven't tested the spouse approval factor, but once Radicale is setup, you don't have to do anything other than create new calendars through a caldav app, or through the web front end.

Android can use DavX to sync if you're in to foss stuff

I pretty much only use it for tasks and a maintenance calendar, but I've had zero problems with it so far

I have tested the spouse approval of Radicale and can confirm it has received the Spousal Seal of Approval^TM^, in our house anyway.

This is something I struggled with and still struggle with to this day. I searched for a long time for a simple web app to connect my Nextcloud calendar (now Radicale), and one day, a hero who has since disappeared proposed Bloben (the link leads to a copy of the repo that I luckily had before he deleted his repository).

The Luna application began to take shape, but the developer is very young and very busy with his studies. Progress is therefore very, very, very slow.

Finally, there is Fluid-Calendar, which is very promising, but a couple of functions are still missing, which is why I'm sticking with Bloben for the moment.

I find it crazy that the community offers so many calendar solutions without providing a truly reliable and efficient frontend solution.

I like fossify calendar on Android

[–] suzune@ani.social 5 points 1 year ago

Yes, fossify calendar and contacts and DAVx5 for synchronization.

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not sure why you've been down voted - I think the fossify apps are really good.

I even contribute towards their app development

[–] palitu@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Probably because it is not selfhosted nor is it a web app??

Note, I use fossify calendar, but I still would like a self hosted web app calendar system

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Just is that way sometimes. I try not to think about it too hard. If someone has decent criticism they can write it out

[–] rehydrate@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How about Mailcow? I mean you don't need to actually create the Mail Server in order to use Calendar. The setup is pretty straight forward

[–] napkin2020@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Seems like mailcow:dockerized uses SOGo as its mail web UI.

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Vivaldi has a CalDav Calendar built in.

If you're open to that possibility, I've been using it on both Windows and Linux laptops and works well with my radicale server.

Baikal, optionally with MMDL as a Web frontend
