Hi everyone
I’m trying to degoogle as much as possible. I’ve heard about this thing called calDAV and cardDAV but I have no idea how to use it.
With radicale, do I need to install some other somewhere in order to use it?
I’m just looking for basic useage for myself only at this stage. I’d like to be able to self host my own calendar and contacts. Is radicale appropriate for this?
Is it safe to self host a calendar?
Can a self hosted calendar still send and receive invites to other calendars?
Any help greatly appreciated, thank you


It’s how you can copy/backup/sync calendar and contacts.
on my phone I installed davx5 which does the copying over to my radicale instance on my server. Then my server backs up my calendar and contacts.
When I get a new phone I can sync all of it over easily. Bonus points, google doesn’t have that data.
Is it hard to set up? Sound perfect for what I want, just also seems complicated for my skills haha
