I hope you all enjoy this one. It's turned out to be much more useful than I originally thought it would be. Really has helped with my family's overwhelming number of things to do on various days fo the week.

[@vijeyparthasarathy]

Yes, enjoying all the videos .. just days back found your channel.. loved it ... So subscribed ... nice videos .. learning a lot

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

Thank you, glad to hear it.

[@MrPhilipgood]

This is a great video Brian. I've been struggling with a good calendar solution for a while and was sort of hitting a wall with radicale until this video. I'm all set up now. Thanks so much for this!

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

Glad it was helpful!

[@imoldovan]

Everything was spot on with the exception of nano exiting. The "proper" way to exit nano is ctrl+x & y :) Thank you.....

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

I do use that method, but I use CTRL+O, then enter as a bit of a habit, because I usually save often, but remain in the file to continue editing. CTRL+X then y kicks you right out.

[@redshepard5306]

Holding Ctrl, s x

Wooow, good day, this is great ... 👏👍

Nice tutorial.

Thank you! Cheers!

[@yourpcmd]

This would be extremely useful for some of the companies I MSP for. I'm surprised that you didn't put this under the Building a Business series as it would fit right in.

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

I may cover it again, but have a more "elegant" option for that which includes Email, Caldav, CardDav, etc. coming soon!

[@cetinozdil5277]

@@AwesomeOpenSource Is this more "elegant" option supports Email relay etc too? Or like Zimbra etc. trying to position itself as mail server?

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

It will be email, caldav, cardav, and shared docs all in one.

[@lezz27]

Awesome video Brian. Can you make a follow-up video that includes journal and reminder setup?

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

Let me see what I can do.

[@minyanism]

Thanks for the video! Am I missing where to get nginx set up the way you have it?

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

I have information in the shownotes on a script I made that can setup Docker, Docker-Compose, and NginX Proxy Manager for you. IF you just need NPM, just answer n to docker and ocker compose when prompted. Here's the link to the show notes. wiki.opensourceisawesome.com/books/radicale-for-calendars-contacts-and-syncing/page/radicale-calendar-contacts-and-syncing

[@ZeroMan1986]

Great Video. Thanks a lot. Can i import and export an existing calender/entries?

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

It uses caldav, so I'm guessing you can do anything that caldav supports. I would think if you link it to an existing calendar it may sync those events that exist, but I haven't tested it.

[@bartolomeohayena1906]

Hi @AwesomeOpenSource Thank you so much for this video, may I ask if possible to use Radicale to sync/share calendar to google calendar at outlook? or do you have any suggestion or recommendation? my goal is to sync/share calendar to outlook and gsuite users. Regards

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

A lot of people ask me this, but I really don't know. It uses caldav, so if those can both use Caldav it should work. I'm definitely not the expert on Google calendar through.

[@bartolomeohayena1906]

@@AwesomeOpenSource Thank you Sir, looking forward for more opensource video, keep it up

[@imanator1819]

How would I accomplish this using portainer

[@itgeeky6313]

What web based calendar are you using, if you don't mind me asking?

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

It's not a web based calendar. It's the Evolution Mail app in Linux.

[@fargoththemoonsugarmaniac]

I just want to have my offline calendar file that syncs with Syncthing but I also want to be able to sync with online calendars (with a link). Is this only possible with some kind of CalDAV accpunt / server?! Why is this so hard? It's just a damn calendar after all

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

I don't have a good answer. I'm not familiar enough with what goes on o make calendars sync in the way they do.

[@fargoththemoonsugarmaniac]

@@AwesomeOpenSource I feel it. Cheers. Thanks nevertheless 🙏

[@rasix86]

sadly radicale does not let you share the calendar with other users on the server it seems. I can use the calendar url with different login, that works, but it does not show the actual calendar

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

Right, I wasn't clear about that I think. You need to make a calendar that is a "team" calenddar and give access to it.

[@LawrenceHe]

I was trying to do this on a server with nginx and certbot and I could not get the reverse proxy or https to work at all

[@LawrenceHe]

I also get a "Error: 500 Internal Server Error" when running radicale

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

So, step one, just reaching it on your internal IP, does it work? If not, start troubleshooting that issue. After you get it working on internal IP, start with the reverse proxy with non https, then add https once http only is working.

[@Mark_Haudegen]

Nice Video, How can i set the User Rights to my calender? Or isnt it necassary? Every User ho login in Radical can set up his own collection and share that with the URL and his account to others? I have to setup this fpr my company and wie have three different customers. They are not allowed to see the data from the others. Thanks for response

[@Mark_Haudegen]

In my case it will be only the Adressbook not the calender sorry

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

So, Radicale has instruction on modifying a user file, and setting up a hash for this purpose, but I haven't gone through it myself.

[@riaangrobler3447]

@@AwesomeOpenSource Really need this as its not really a calendar sharing then atm, Each person can only see their own Cals.. Unless everyone uses the same username and password...

[@vijeyparthasarathy]

Sorry to write here , but need help . I am looking for a cpanel alternative, but opensource , and which Cannot be hackable or in other words my files should not be injected with some external files... this mostly happened with wordpress .. how to stop these..

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

I've had a few folks ask for CPanel alternatives. I'm not familiar with any enough to give a recommendation based on your request, but there is a good list of open source / self hosted software on github (the Awesome Self Hosted list) you might check out.

[@omfa7856]

Does it co with the samples?

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

What samples?

[@jashmaniar]

Can we add radicale calendar to Google Calendar?

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

I don't know about that.

[@vidsforfunxd9312]

What is the email client you're using?

[@baghdaddy3531]

Looks to be Evolution

@@baghdaddy3531 Thanks.

It is indeed Evolution.

just installed postfix & dovecot and i want this for calendar and contacts syncing with thunderbird

[@80robina]

Just to add, instead of this I'm using Baikal. Way easy to install setup and use with thunderbird

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

I tried Balkal, and it wasn't bad, but it lacked a couple of things I wanted as I recall.

[@domiflichi]

Can Nginx Proxy Manager proxy UDP traffic?

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

Not sure. You'd' be better off to ask over at the project page.

[@domiflichi]

@@AwesomeOpenSource OK will do, thanks for the reply.

Calendar on my Linux machine, and the main iPhone calendar app.

I'm trying to keep the mother in law out of my calendar. LOL

[@AwesomeOpenSource]

I don't have that issue at all. I'm so very lucky that my wife is wonderful and my mother-in-law is too.

Quite possibly. Over time things do change.
