Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

There are FOSS Android apps that work with .ics URLs, like ICSDroid and DavDroid. Some of them work read-only but I guess you're ok with that.
Radicale and Baikal servers are fairly easy to set up in Docker. Let me know if you run into trouble.
I use Radicale and I expose it over the internet at my own domain. It has full support for events, tasks, contacts (and notes, if you can find an app to support them, AFAIK the only working combination is DAVx5 + jtxBoard). The data is saved in plain text files so it's very easy to backup and non-proprietary. The server itself is lightweight, it's literally only one process (Python) and uses about 100 MB of RAM. It has a basic web interface you can use to check if login credentials work and to create/import calendars and contacts. You can turn off this interface when not needed.
Duuuude. I just wish I saw your comment BEFORE spinning and fighting with a nextcloud container. Well...At least I didn't go all the way in just yet. Just found out ICSx5 does exactly this (it popped when searching for icsdroid on f-droid). My calendar is populated with the Proton Calendar. For my use, I can create events with proton calendar, and Android gets it to the local calendar via ICSx5. Thanks man!
I hope you weren't installing NextCloud just for CalDav because that would indeed be overkill. 😆 Glad you found something that works.
Yeah...Overkill indeed. I was considering to stop using proton calendar altogether and just migrating to NextCloud...but seems this might work much easier.
