Hey all!

I’m looking for recommendations for sharing a Calendar and Contacts.

Any suggestions that aren’t OwnCloud/NextCloud? I already have storage with Syncthing and pictures with Immich.

Thanks for your recommendations!

No personal knowledge of them but a couple would be sabre/dav and radicale:

edit: and for Android phones the DAVx⁵ is a great caldav and carddav client

I like radicale: radicale.org

I recently switched from radicale to baikal. Both are straight forward no frills caldav / carddav managers. Baikal has a more modern UX. My switch came from choosing to use YunoHost to simplify my home server management

Another for radicale. Been using it for years now. Its great.

Can you elaborate on “sharing”?

Calendar between me and my wife. contacts between various devices, mostly phone.

I use radicale with great success. Highly recommended. It’s simple and barebone, get the job done, doesn’t get into the way.

Is it fancy and has bells and whistles? No. But who cares given how solid and easy it is.

It has no web calendar, you need an additional tool for that.

I’ve heard numerous recommendations of both sabre and radicale, but ive never used them. I use baikal for both contacts and calendars. It’s simple and it works well.

Same here, Baikal user for about a year, no hiccups so far, works great across my devices.

Definitely Radicale

We have separate calendars (ie we individually sync between our phones and other devices) plus joint calendars that we also sync…

On Android I use davx to sync and Fossify Calendar which allows me to see multiple calendars but only sounds reminders for my personal & joint appointments, not others.

On my laptops I’m currently usong Vivaldi’s built-in calendar and that’s working well for me.

How did you do joint calendars in Radicale?

Cyber@feddit.uk on 14 May 06:23 collapse

It’s just another calendar…

So, we have:

  • Me
  • Them
  • Us
  • House Stuff (ie bin day reminders)
    • I use this for Home Assistant
  • Birthdays
    • I don’t recall at the moment, but an app used this for contact’s birthdays…

I then setup DavX to sync to Me and Us on my phone and Them and Us on their phone.

In Fossify Calendar it’s really easy to show /hide separate calendars as well as selecting the correct calendar when adding / editing events.

Using baikal here, on docker. Easy to move to another server when I did early this year

Second Baikal, I’m using docker on nixos through compose2nix and it’s great for syncing both my calendar and my tasks.org todo lists. Crazy easy to setup as well.

I know it’s not everyone’s favourite but I use Nextcloud to manage family calendars and contacts and to sync between Mac, PC, iOS and Android.

voidspace@lemmy.world on 14 May 05:47 next collapse

Same. Just switched due to de-googling.

for me it’s more that it’s heavier than i really need. no hate, i think it’s cool software.
