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

      Thank you

      I’ve downloaded dav5x. How can I make sure om using the server contacts and not still on Google contacts?

      I’ll read that, thank you for sharing

        Start by using a 3rd party contacts app (or dialer+contacts as they usually come, at least on Android). Google’s Contacts app only works with Google.

        The 3rd party app should let you explicitly select which sources of contacts you want to use. After you set up DAVx5 you should see it available as a source.

        The app I use (True Phone, com.hb.dialer.free) shows a list of all sources under “Settings > Contacts > Contacts to show” and you can check/uncheck the ones you want.

      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.

          I’ve been thinking of creating one for a long time but it’s sitting in my pile of project ideas.

          Honestly, if some other experience software engineer is up for it, we’ll do it together.
