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

You forget about that UI. Only used to create users. Then use. Cardiac/cal app like Dav5X on Android or similar to connect and do all the stuff like create, import etc
See my wiki at https://wiki.gardiol.org/7-services/radicale
It also shows how to install infCloud to get an actual web GUI to use calendars from your server
Nice wiki
Didn't know about infCloud... thanks
Yes, there aren't many options that is not idea but it works fine
I think I tried using AgenDAV - CalDAV web client at one point but I either ran into a speedbump or I decided I didn't need it. Is that the same? I also found this vibe-coded thing while searching just now.
Infcloud is the only presentble web ui for webdav/cldav/carddav, but as far as I remember its unmaintained
InfCloud is the last and only functional, standalone, web-based CalDAV frontend currently in existence. It doesn't really matter how crap it is because there's no alternative. And besides CalDAV/CardDAV are not exactly rapidly-evolving anymore.
There are a handful of alternative frontends bundled with other webapps, for example Nextcloud includes one, but if you don't want to install Nextcloud just for that you're stuck with InfCloud.
I really wish someone would make a modern standalone webapp for this but no luck so far.
Having worked at some point on some calendar interfaces I can appreciate why, because they're super intricate and difficult.
I've been thinking of creating one for a long time but it's sitting in my pile of project ideas.
Honestly, if some other experience software engineer is up for it, we'll do it together.
Nice wiki btw. Bookmarked
Thank you! I recently updated from Dokuwiki to Leaf wiki. Best decision ever. Not because Dokuwiki was bad, but I am truly fed up with php dependency.
Ahah! When I went to the site I was having a deja vu moment. The content looked familiar, but the framework looked much different. So I assumed this was a new user with a new blog. I found your wiki quite a while back looking for a docker compose. Good stuff.
Thank you
I've downloaded dav5x. How can I make sure om using the server contacts and not still on Google contacts?
I'll read that, thank you for sharing
Start by using a 3rd party contacts app (or dialer+contacts as they usually come, at least on Android). Google's Contacts app only works with Google.
The 3rd party app should let you explicitly select which sources of contacts you want to use. After you set up DAVx5 you should see it available as a source.
The app I use (True Phone, com.hb.dialer.free) shows a list of all sources under "Settings > Contacts > Contacts to show" and you can check/uncheck the ones you want.
It works well with thr stock app but you have to select the destination. It seems to remember it.
