In my first debian installation on dockstar I used OwnCloud for some private calendars.
The other features of owncloud are so slow in Dockstar, that they are not used at all by my family...
As I needed fast replacement to keep our family calendars running, I decided to look for something more "light" than OwnCloud.
I decided to try to run radicale on my linux PC as a fast replacement.
Now I moved the radicale installation from my linux PC to the (just revived) dockstar, after installing python3 based radicale there via PIP.
Radicale in the default installation is not using a database, but a lot of *.ics files in a directory tree behind a root "collections" folder to keep all the data of the calendars...
Moving the data of the calendars from linux pc to dockstar was not more than copying the "collections" folder tree....
Up and running again ...
Now the hard work will be to get the mobile devices of my family in hand to modify CalDavSync settings ...
I don't know, how the reaction times will be, when the calendars are filled with more data, but up to now, the reaction time is much faster, and (thanks to PIP) it is much easier to make software updates than with OwnCloud ....
Disadvantages
- There are no Browser based calendars, it is only possible to access the calendars via CalDav (e. g. Android CalDavSync App for Android Calendar)
- Thunderbird's Calendar Plugin is actually rejected and blocked by TB version 60, so my favorite calendar data entry method is blocked ....
