Skiff on Cloudron - Privacy first email and calendar solution

[LoudLemur]

Cloudron already has support for Cal.com (currently testing).

Cal.com has beta support for CalDav (which enables us to use Radicale, and also Nextcloud, both of which are also available on Cloudron).

Skiff is fully supported on Cal.com, too. (Skiff is a suite of privacy tools for calendar and email.) It would be lovely to be able to host Skiff on Cloudron too, since it would integrate well with the other functionality available. Skiff looks beautiful.

Nice UI. Odd name. Sometimes I wonder about the wisdom of some of these OS projects making themselves unemployable in enterprise due to their misplaced quirky names.

It doesn't look like selfhosting is easily possible. They just provide the source for their applications, but the intention seems not to be selfhosting.

As far as I can tell it's not actually possible to self-host Skiff.

Thanks for looking into this too, everybody! Cal.com's CalDav module with Nextcloud calendar might work well instead.

If anybody loves Nextcloud calendar, please let us know. There don't seem to be any "nesting calendars" or grouping calendars options in Nextcloud.

It works great with Nextcloud Calendar - I've been using the hosted cal.com with my self hosted on Cloudron Nextcloud Calendar for ages now

Could you elaborate on what you're talking about? I'm not sure I follow

Thanks for asking. Lets say you are a World Wide Corporation, WWC. So you have a WWC calendar, and then feeding into that would be Regional Calendars, eg US, Europe, Asia. These would be calendars run by the Regions and which would inform the WWC. By looking at the WWC, the US Region could see when the European Region is having is annual conference and, eg. avoid a scheduling clash. The Regional calendars would in turn be fed by Country calendars (USA, Canada; UK, Germany; Japan, Korea).

Nesting the calendars might help them e.g. federate (there is a federation tool in Nextcloud, I think). It might also help with redundancy, eg. everybody could be running an instance of the WWC.

Grouping calendars might help e.g. putting all the European country calendars together into a folder or something like that.

Maybe there is a better way to do this with Nextcloud's tagging system or groups functionality...
