calendars off the cloud - what do you use? (sh.itjust.works)

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?

Nextcloud, CalDAV, Thunderbird.

This, but with DAVx⁵ as a CardDAV client app on Android.

I use the same, I just forget about it because I hate and so rarely use my phone, haha.

[–] meathappening@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Using this as well, but potentially shifting to Radicale. Nextcloud has pissed me off one too many times.

[–] mhzawadi@lemmy.horwood.cloud 2 points 2 months ago

But how?

I run nextcloud and have had maybe 2 update fails in the "mumbles" years I have run it, yes it is a monster with resource. So the bigger the box it's on the better it runs

I have had zero issues for two years now using Nextcloud AIO. Use is heavy with multiple users. Planning to set up a personal one next.

Interested in hearing about the problems you're having

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Do it.

I found no-one used the NC interface for anything, so it was a lot of maintenance for no reason.

I replaced NC with Radicale and syncthing

[–] passenger@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What maintenance is there, really? Nextcloud AIO is great

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

True, but, I don't need docker or a VMM to run it in, or as many resources. Backups are easier, updates are predictable... and are adverts now a thing with the AIO?

I come from the early days when every NC point release needed a lot of tweaks to even make it work... hence the AIO was born from that mess.

I just found a simpler solution...

[–] passenger@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

I don't see how backups are easier - Nextcloud AIO has borg backup built in as well.

Haven't had to think about updates, they just happen.

And I haven't seen a single advert, not sure what that's about either.

But I had some problems with the windows client updates. That was a couple years back. Crashed explorer on update. Back then a restart was necessary to update anyway.

Same, thunderbird on pc, davx5 + fossify calendar on android/grapheneos

[–] biscuit 1 points 2 months ago

Nextcloud is overkill just for calendar, right?
