etke.ccRadicale service
Radicale is a lightweight CalDAV and CardDAV server: it syncs your calendars and contacts across your devices, and it’s small enough to sit quietly alongside everything else on your server.
It’s a good pick if you’d rather host your own calendar and contacts than hand them to a big cloud provider. It speaks the standard protocols, so most CalDAV and CardDAV apps just work.
What you get¶
- Calendars and contacts, synced: standard CalDAV and CardDAV, so your devices stay in step. You can work offline, and changes sync when you reconnect.
- Log in with Matrix: we run Radicale with our own radicale-auth-matrix plugin, so your Matrix account is your login.
- Light and private: a small footprint, your data on your own server, no cloud middleman.
- Works with the clients you already use: desktop, mobile, and web CalDAV/CardDAV apps.
- Sharing: hand calendars and contacts to other users when you need to coordinate.
- Free and open source, under the AGPL.
Usage¶
We host your Radicale instance at a URL like https://radicale.your-server.com. Just replace your-server.com with your actual server domain and open it in your browser.
Because we configure the instance with radicale-auth-matrix plugin, you can use your Matrix credentials to log in to it (note: use login/localpart, instead of a full MXID). Welcome to your Radicale instance!
Most likely, you’ll want to configure your CalDAV and CardDAV clients to connect to your instance. Here are some clients which are known to be compatible with Radicale:
- DAVx⁵: Android
- Thunderbird: Windows, macOS, Linux
- GNOME Calendar, Contacts, and Evolution: Linux
The list is not exclusive; You can use any CalDAV and CardDAV client that supports the protocols. Just enter your Radicale URL and your credentials, and you’re good to go!
