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

Good answer. i would add, since most people already have their contacts set up in their phone, that after setting up davx5, they have a new empty phone book. Most phones already have s mechanism to move your contacts to a new phone book. Just move them over and delete or disable the phone book you currently use like google etc.

Do you know how to disable the stock contacts? Do I do this using adb? I've done that before for other apps

Usually in the account settings for your google account.
