A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Hello all, I just released v0.1.7 of Cfait, a CalDAV task / TODO manager with most of the features I've always wanted and I'm starting to find it usable and enjoyable so I think it's time to announce it :) I've finally starting organizing my todo list the way it should always have been.

Some of the features I'm particularly happy about are the sane sorting (first by date then by priority), the tags / categories navigation (with a choice of AND or OR), and the ability to link tasks (e.g. a parent task or (a) task(s) blocking (an)other task(s), this is the only thing I wanted from a tool like Jira).

I hope you all enjoy it too :-)

It has both GUI and TUI, I try to keep them on the same level. (Except the config. file which has to be written manually when using the TUI)

So far I've only tested it on Arch Linux (there's an AUR package: cfait / cfait-git) with the Radicale CalDAV server but I assume it will work on any distribution (there's even an experimental Windows build under releases) and server, feel free to let me know what works or not.

Source code, .deb (and .exe) builds, screenshots, features list and README on https://github.com/trougnouf/cfait (also available as a rust crate: https://crates.io/crates/cfait )

Don't forget to backup your tasks list before trying it.

Thanks :)

It's as simple as ticking off items (and adding new ones). The categories in Tasks (#tags in Cfait) and child/parent relationships are compatible (it's all the same iCalendar standard). Tasks doesn't understand the Blocked-by relationship but the tasks still appear.

You just need a CalDAV server to get going. I use Radicale because it's lightweight and single-purpose so unlikely to break (and a self-hosted Wireguard VPN because I don't have a static IP at home). For Android you also need an app to synchronize with the CalDAV server (Tasks doesn't do it alone), I use DAVx5 (It's all on F-Droid).
