What is Radicale and how do I use it? (thelemmy.club)

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

You don't need a dashboard. Think of it as just a database. And then other apps interact with it. On my android phone I have davx5 which does all the syncing of things like calendar and contacts. Setting up and syncing with davx5 is the easy bit. The hard bit is getting authentication working and creating the databases. Mine works perfectly but I couldn't tell you how I set it up. If I want to add another calendar or contacts list to it Id have to go and figure it all out again.
