Anyone actually using Radicale ?
-
Seeking to de-google and even reduce use of apple eco-system
Need a private calendar server : mostly using ProtonCalendar but looking to reduce lock-in if i don't renew next year
Nothing much gets discussed about Radicale : is it so flawless there is no need, or no-one really uses it ?
What clients do people use to read entries ?

@timconsidine I use it for personal use, it is a bit minimalistic since it has no addressbook or calendaring user interface as such, but works great with Thunderbird and Davdroid.

I was heavy into Radicale for a long time, but have recently moved back to iCloud for that stuff for me because it's just far faster to sync to all my devices. With Radicale, I find it would often take my Reminders app or Calendar app upwards of 20 seconds (usually closer to 8 seconds though) to actually sync, and if I made a change and quickly closed off the app on macOS for example, it's never be seen because it never made it to the server yet. Caused me too many headaches after a while. Once day I may revisit it again, but for me it's not quite quick enough yet.
FWIW, I presume part of it is how many records you have to sync, and in my case I had well over 1400 contact records, a few hundred reminders (mostly because checked-off ones don't auto-delete), and probably a few thousand calendar records too, so maybe I was pushing it a bit, not too sure.

@timconsidine Will Radicale push updates to a calendar event or will people subscribing be left with the old data?

@loudlemur no idea, sorry : not explored it very far.

@timconsidine I had a quick check and it doesn't seem to do that push notification thing.

@loudlemur There is no "push" function, it is poll only.
