I’m still on my little adventure of pulling my crap off the cloud and realized my calendar is still blowing around out there. What do people use for their personal calendars nowadays?

Radicale on my server and davx5 on my android to sync contacts and calendar.
I have a paper calendar on my wall. It’s really nice because I find writing things down helps me remember, and also because you can get ones with different pictures or jokes or facts or recipes on the other side, so you get a new set each month.
Also if you follow two calendar systems it’s particularly nice because they can both be on the same calendar. (For example mine is a combined hebrew gregorian calendar, which is much nicer than just having the computer tell me when holidays are)
no notifications
too much scrolling
I use Nextcloud. Of course that only makes sense when you use the other Nextcloud stuff as well.

Is CalDAV a cloud service? Usable with some email-providers Mike mailbox.org and posteo.de
I host a CalDAV server (specifically Nextcloud’s Calendar app, though plenty of others exist, like Radicale) and all my devices sync with it.
Opencloud for me
I have a paper 4 year calendar hanging on the wall. Takes a while to write in all the dates and holidays. With liquid paper/white out I have been using the same calendar for well over 10 years.
On my phone - Fossify Calendar.
That paper calendar must be rigid now with all that white paint 🤭
Mainly my normal phone app. But for a long time it’s not sync’d to some google cloud (which would be the default) but a Radicale instance.
I used Nextcloud before but honestly it’s a mess to maintain. So much that I would not suggest it without planning to extensively use a lot of the different available addon functions.
Just for file sharing and caldav/carddav I will pick some simple solutions (like Radicale and Syncthing) over Nextcloud any day.
SoGo server, comes with webmail, web calendar, tasks and contacts all sync able via DAVx5. I actually sell these to customers as I get these kinds of requests more and more often.
tempting but my understanding is hosting your own email means nobody will accept what you send and its constantly going to be attacked. I dont really have the chops to beat back that kind of thing.
You are talking about reputation management which is not as big a deal as you might think.
Email is a simple system but there are a lot of things at work to prevent (more like reduce) spam.
Some DNS knowledge and some friendly emails to a few abuse @ addresses and a few months of quiet reputation building and you are set.
Add a few weeks of rspamd training and you won’t see much spam either.
Radicale + client (Thunderbird on desktop, fossify calendar on phone)
This is the way. Radicale was super easy to set up via docker.
Radicale is also really easy to setup as a “normal” package… I have it running on a Pi.
Such a small, simple system, it’s great.
@muusemuuse Nextcloud, Baikal, Radicale, …
nextcloud, owncloud, someother-cloud…I remember there being a lot of drama with these last time I looked at them. what’s the current state of the union on these?
@muusemuuse IMHO Nextcloud is still the best package.
However, if your just looking for a selfhosted calendar, NC might be overkill.
Baikal
Dead simple and has worked for me for years, now.
fossify for “phone”
