I'm still on my little adventure of pulling my crap off the cloud and realized my calendar is still blowing around out there. What do people use for their personal calendars nowadays?

SoGo server, comes with webmail, web calendar, tasks and contacts all sync able via DAVx5. I actually sell these to customers as I get these kinds of requests more and more often.

tempting but my understanding is hosting your own email means nobody will accept what you send and its constantly going to be attacked. I dont really have the chops to beat back that kind of thing.

Have they cleaned up their docker compose setup somewhat? Last time I checked it was a hot mess

Radicale + client (Thunderbird on desktop, fossify calendar on phone)

[–] cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Nextcloud, CalDAV, Thunderbird.

This, but with DAVx⁵ as a CardDAV client app on Android.

Using this as well, but potentially shifting to Radicale. Nextcloud has pissed me off one too many times.

[–] Ooops@feddit.org 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Mainly my normal phone app. But for a long time it's not sync'd to some google cloud (which would be the default) but a Radicale instance.

I used Nextcloud before but honestly it's a mess to maintain. So much that I would not suggest it without planning to extensively use a lot of the different available addon functions.

Just for file sharing and caldav/carddav I will pick some simple solutions (like Radicale and Syncthing) over Nextcloud any day.

interesting, I can tell my existing apple stuff to point to my own instance run on radicale instead of icloud.....I dont know why I didnt consider that. its all caldav under the hood

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 8 points 6 hours ago

I use Nextcloud. Of course that only makes sense when you use the other Nextcloud stuff as well.

I host a CalDAV server (specifically Nextcloud's Calendar app, though plenty of others exist, like Radicale) and all my devices sync with it.

no notifications

too much scrolling

[–] frischkaesbagett@feddit.org 2 points 6 hours ago

Is CalDAV a cloud service? Usable with some email-providers Mike mailbox.org and posteo.de

[–] RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

I have a paper 4 year calendar hanging on the wall. Takes a while to write in all the dates and holidays. With liquid paper/white out I have been using the same calendar for well over 10 years.

On my phone - Fossify Calendar.

nextcloud, owncloud, someother-cloud.....I remember there being a lot of drama with these last time I looked at them. what's the current state of the union on these?

[–] comrademiao@piefed.social 1 points 6 hours ago

Baikal or micro notes.md

a yearly paper calendar tacked to my wall
