I was searching for a good CalDav server to self host .. I don’t want to depend on Google/Microsoft/whatever anymore. Nor do I want something extremely complex.
I just want to have a way of sync-ing calendar in a privacy preserving way. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy, neither as it was with EMAIL!
I had discovered that Vikunja supports CalDav for tasks. Not for calendars.
My main search was for a GOlang Self Contained binary, but not finding that well.. was sad. I don’t want to build yet one myself based on the libraries available I did find a non production ready version in Rust, but I want something I can use.
So I have to settle on using a PHP version..
The problem I’m facing is that in the past I used my own domains created a free google account which I used to sync my calendar, but I don’t want google training their AI’s on my data anymore so I set out to find a different usage.
Unfortunately, synchronizing the separate PHP calendar on Android systems is not possible with the stock calendars built by the mobile NOR with the google versions. It seems you need a separate software to do caldav sync. Which uses battery and is pretty complex to setup manually for each email.
For sensitive information I’d certainly use this approach, but for other stuff I guess I’ll keep using my private email domain AND some public instances.
