Any recommendations for a caldav/carddav/webdav server?

I’m looking into radicale docker at the moment as one of the services I’m going to replace Nextcloud with. I’m tired to trying to keep Nextcloud happy so I’m moving to a series of containers instead of one giant service.

Here is what I have so far services wise

  • lldap
  • Forgejo
  • paperless-ngx
  • Radicale
  • Matrix/element

I’m also still looking for a simple dedicated WebDAV server that supports LDAP and isn’t written in PHP.

It’s been years (maybe 12-14) so I might be woefully outdated in saying this but the last time I tried webdav it was brutally unreliable. Reads/Writes would often be truncated and corrupted if network conditions weren’t perfect. i.e. You might want to look at another way of doing what you want to do with the webdav stuff…unless someone here can affirm error handling has improved for webdav.

I’ve been using Radicale for years (since like 2012 I think?) Use it with Davx5 and Thunderbird for calendar/contact sync.

What are the big advantages of Forgejo over Gitea or radicle.xyz? I still use Gitlab for my git hosting, but I’ve thought about hosting that myself at some point.

Haven’t heard of paperless-ngx, but that looks neat. It’d probably be a good idea to scan in a lot of my records instead of just putting them in recycling and hoping I don’t need them later :grimacing:

I would personally choose Forgejo over Gitea any day. The Forgejo community is super nice and it is way less corporate than Gitea. For context it is the software that powers codeberg.org

Are you using Radicale in docker/podman/kubernetes? If so, how is it overall?

WebDAV is the protocol that underlays a lot of other things. One implementation bight of been buggy but the protocol itself is fairly simple.

I just use it via Docker.

I’m weary of Codeberg after the whole Wikiless thing:

I mean, the real issue was the Wikimedia foundation and how corrurpt they’ve become (which I’ve written about here: Wikipedia is a Source of Political Propaganda), but they kinda took that extra step of just removing a code repository. I had a conversion about it with the Codeberg guy on Fediverse (a.k.a Mastodon) but I lost the link to it.

I am thinking of adding Radicale to my TrueNAS as a Docker container but I dont know where to source them (I cant seem to find them on docker hub and linuxserver.io). I am thinking of running a VM instead but I don’t know if that is actually better or would lead to a lot more tinkering/busywork.
