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

    The options to password protect it are in the (usually /etc/radicale/)config file und [auth].

    For proper security you could use

    type = htpasswd

    htpasswd_filename = /etc/radicale/users

    htpasswd_encryption = bcrypt

    then create a users file with apache tools (htpasswd -c -B users User1) or one of the million online htpasswd file creators.

          Because if I wanted to harvest a bunch of passwords I would offer a online password generator.

          Do use apache utils locally.

            While you are right in general, you are just creating a file with a <user>:<hashed password> line without any identifying context. So have fun searching the world for where I might have actually used it. Sounds like a really bad use of ressources to create list of passwords.

            PS: Yes, as an Arch user I am still pissed that this tool is not available in the repos beside installing the complete Apache server…
