Well, it was officially and well supported before. It is just awfully complicated and unintuitive. So much that I decided to vibecode a GUI to manage my sharings with family members.

Now that I did that, Radicale’s native sharing and permissions system makes more sense but is still unusable by most people in need of a simple sharing / editing / per user permission management.

Here’s an example:

[admin-root]
user = user1
collection = 
permissions = R

[admin-principal]
user = user1
collection = user1
permissions = RrWw

[admin-full]
user = user1
collection = user1/.*
permissions = RrWw

[admin-read-user2-root]
user = user1
collection = user2
permissions = R

[admin-read-user2-cal1]
user = user1
collection = user2/cal1
permissions = Rr

[admin-read-user2-cal2]
user = user1
collection = user2/cal2
permissions = Rr

[user2-root]
user = user2
collection = 
permissions = R

[user2-principal]
user = user2
collection = user2
permissions = RrWw

[user2-full]
user = user2
collection = user2/.*
permissions = RrWw

[user2-read-write-user1-cal3]
user = user2
collection = user1/cal3
permissions = RrWw

[user2-read-user1-cal4]
user = user2
collection = user1/cal4
permissions = Rr

[user2-read-user1-cal5]
user = user2
collection = user1/cal5
permissions = Rr

[user2-read-user1-cal6]
user = user2
collection = user1/cal6
permissions = Rr

For anyone curious about my vibecoded thingy, I just switched the repo to “public”. It’s in French, but can be instructive for anyone willing to understand more about how sharing and permissions work.

As for Radicale v3.7, I’ll need to check what has changed. Thanks for sharing

No caldav option that I know of, but several time tracking options.

• Kimai

• Solidtime

• TimeTagger

• Traggo

• ActivityWatch

Radicale + Luna / Fossify Calendar

Guys, your comments made my day :D

Hey, I didn’t expect this to attract that much attention 😅

It was just meant to be a small appreciation post, and it kind of took on a life of its own.

Hope I didn’t put you in an uncomfortable spot. My ADHD sometimes gets the better of my enthusiasm and I get a bit carried away.

As always, thanks a lot for the great work. I’m still happy to help however I can 👍

Jeez, can’t people just read the full post? 😅

Thanks for the

summary

🙂 Just to clarify, I’m not the developer. I’m just sharing the project I’ve been following for a couple of years. If you have suggestions like adding screenshots, the most useful way to help the project would be to open an issue or contribute.

Fair point about screenshots.

Just to clarify though: I’m not the developer, I’m just someone who has been following the project for a while and wanted to give it a bit of visibility here because I think it’s promising.

Since it’s still a young project, the README is understandably a bit rough around the edges. My post was mainly meant as a heads-up for people interested in self-hosted calendar tools, not as a finished product showcase.

That said, constructive suggestions like adding screenshots are definitely useful, opening an issue, like @inari@pifed.zip did, or contributing to the README would probably help the project more than my post ever could 🙂

I see myself in your profile. It took me ages to take the leap.

I first tried seeking help in r/selfhosted and got discouraged by the elitist community.

I just ate dozens of hours of YouTube content, bought a Raspberry Pi 4, and failed numerous times.

The fact is, I was stuck in the anomalous state of knowledge.

So just go ahead, hit and miss, but as an ADHD, document everything. EVERYTHING. Every step you take, every thing you learn.

The community here is a lot friendlier than Reddit’s, so don’t be afraid of asking, as long as it’s well formulated.

And one thing I didn’t have when I took my first steps is AI. It was made for this: getting out of the anomalous state of knowledge. It will help you define what’s missing so you can ask the proper questions.

Have fun learning!

Looks exactly like what I need. Thank you :D

Oh I missed that. Thanks

If you feel like selfhosting, OmniPoly is a great option.

Key Features:

• Translation: Text translation across multiple languages (see: libretranslate).

• Grammar Checking: Ensures your text is not only translated but also reads well with proper grammar and style (see: languagetool).

• AI-Powered Insights: Utilizes Large Language Models to analyze sentiments and extract interesting sentences, adding depth to your translations (see: ollama).

This is something I struggled with and still struggle with to this day. I searched for a long time for a simple web app to connect my Nextcloud calendar (now Radicale), and one day, a hero who has since disappeared proposed Bloben (the link leads to a copy of the repo that I luckily had before he deleted his repository).

The Luna application began to take shape, but the developer is very young and very busy with his studies. Progress is therefore very, very, very slow.

Finally, there is Fluid-Calendar, which is very promising, but a couple of functions are still missing, which is why I’m sticking with Bloben for the moment.

I find it crazy that the community offers so many calendar solutions without providing a truly reliable and efficient frontend solution.

🥰

It’s great that these tools exist. Thanks for sharing.

I use this which combines languagetools, libre translate and openwebui for your local AI needs

It’s great to see all the progress made so far. However, I’m surprised that Pixelfed is still not supported.

Thanks for your answer.

So if Docker completely ignores UFW rules, how am I supposed to protect my VPS ? I’ve never done this before and I’m puzzled.

As for NPM, here’s the “ports” part of my docker-compose

    ports:
      - '80:80'
      - '81:81' #GUI
      - '443:443'

I have developped this myself

It’s a lot friendlier with a link :)
