I am using this setup for years by now. Works great mostly.
Can you tell us more about “mostly”?
I just realized this is not the exact setup I use. I use Radicale on the desktop but additionally Decsync. So I don’t need Radicale on my other devices, just a Decsync client.
With “mostly” in my case I was referring to the Radicale-Decsync plugin which works great but doesn’t seem to be actively maintained anymore. So there was an instance where Radicale changed something and the Decsync plugin didn’t work anymore. Was an easy fix but sadly that fix is still not available in the “official” Radicale-Decsync plugin which makes it hard for non technical users to use it, currently.
DecSync is amazing! Setting it up seemd easier to me than what is described I’m the linked article. Luckily that bug you are talking about hasn’t appeared to me.
I agree, the described system seem unnecessarily complicated. Decsync exists exactly for that use case.
Here is the bug btw in case someone is interested: https://github.com/39aldo39/Radicale-DecSync/issues/33
Most Termux apps work with Radicale but not DecSync. Other issues are described in the linked post.

Its great, been using it for a while across a few different devices. Android/windows/Linux, it doesn’t care.

This does not need a server.

Wrong, Syncthing is peer-to-peer.
How many devices are we talking about?
I’ll try this! I used to use caldav via my mail provider with DAVx5, but I had problems with it not retaining notification settings with recurring events.
I don’t know if that’s a problem with their caldav server, DAVx5, or my phone’s calendar. But worth trying with radicale and see if it works.

You can have untrusted peers in Syncthing that only receive an encrypted copy of your data.
Hmm, I did not know that. Thanks

How do you guys can see a deleted comment wtf. I deleted it for a reason, because I noticed that my comment was dumb and stupid after I posted it
Inbox, didn’t even see it was deleted until I clicked through.
I just use Syncthing to backup Radicale files. I guess this is to remove the need for a domain name and web server? This won’t work with all devices like iphones. Also shared calendars won’t sync properly.
