Self hosted calendar (leaf.dance)

I'm looking for a self hosted calendar that supports multiple users, runs in docker, and is easy to integrate into home assistant and a phone app. Does anything like this exist or should i lower my expectations?

Baikal is another option, light on resources and easy to setup

The protocol is called CalDAV (and CardDAV for contacts).

Plenty applications exist that can do it on both sides - it's not like you need a specific client app that fits your specific server app.

FWIW, I find NextCloud too bloated and prefer Radicale for the above mentioned.

And yes, it runs in Docker.

Radicale. I just finished setting it up and with that, I can now finally shut down Nextcloud.

I use Radicale för it.

Last time I checked, radicale and baikal were the sensible options. I went with radicale, no regrets, but not in a container.

Why no container?

[–] a14o@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

Oh I'm sure it runs perfectly fine in a container, it's just not my preferred setup.

I have had positive experiences with both Radicale and Baikal. I am not sure about the Home Assistant integration, but they both use CalDAV, so I would be surprised if there wasn’t a way of connecting them. iOS has native support for CalDAV, but Android needs the davx5 app (free on F-Droid).

I run Nextcloud for this. Never understood the complaints about it, I find it hard to believe everyone's so short of CPU power that Nextcloud is anything more than a rounding error running in the background.

There's half a dozen of us using it for shared calendars, files, and contacts.

Currently around 6TB of files, a couple of hundred or so contacts in the shared contacts list, and many recurring (and one off) events.

Been working perfectly since before Nextcloud forked from OwnCloud.

I tried radicale. Nextcloud is easier to manage. That's what I recommend.

[–] mr_pip@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago

i don't think the need for a plain calendar warrants a resource monster such as nextcloud.

[–] handsoffmydata@lemmy.zip -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nextcloud 🤷‍♂️

[–] BlueBockser@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

I'm using Nextcloud as well, but I'll admit that it's probably a bit heavy if all one needs is a calendar.
