I’d like to hear of an alternative to google calendar. I just need a calendar-based event tracker that is able to sync between at least my phone (android) and PC (Linux). Are there any alternative services? (other than Outlook)
Radical on the server, Davx5 on the phone to sync, Thunderbird on your desktop. The combination has worked for me over many years.
Man, I’ve read this like so many times. So… I just set it up and it’s working a treat. I installed radicale via radicale-docker, got it confogured with my user, set it up in Thunderbird and install/configured Davx5 and Fossify calendar (via F-Droid) on my android phone. <phew>
Docker for radicale (which is unofficial but they don’t offer one, so…)
https://github.com/tomsquest/docker-radicale?tab=readme-ov-fileThe only thing I might have to get used to is the sync delay with davx5. How often do you have yours setup to sync, if you don’t mind me asking?
I don’t know, it was always quick enough for me so I never went looking for a setting.
I have the Tuta calendar.
tuta indeed
Same (till today) but then the only way you can access your calendar is in the Tuta apps, and then you can’t share appointments with others, invite them, and so on. Bit of a limited option, unless your calendar security/privacy is really important to you.
Proton has a good calendar service but if you want to change color labels you need to be on the more expensive tier - and they don’t really tell you that ahead of time. Which p’ed me off so much I moved my calendar to a Nextcloud server instead, which works great. It also got me off Keep, Drive, and I’m working on Gmail.
