For anyone who is not familiar already:

Calibre is a desktop application that has some file hosting/syncing features.

Calibre-Web is a server software that uses the Calibre library files, but can operate independently after setup.

Calibre Web Automated is a server software based on Calibre-Web with an overhauled UI and many additional features including automated ingest, OIDC, KOsync, file conversion and fixing, and more.

I don’t personally use it so I don’t know if it depends on davx5, but you can add a CalDAV calendar directly in Etar settings.

I think I was actually thinking of KashCal, which works with or without DAVx5 by design.

Okay, I found it. I was looking in the wrong place and going in circles instead of clicking through the documentation one screen at a time. How embarrassing!

You are 100% right that it is spelled out very clearly. Thank you for the patience.

Thanks for looking into it. What URL did you enter in the server endpoint? Is it just the HA domain? Or is it another link that I have to get from HA? I’m sorry if this is a dumb question but I genuinely don’t know.

Possibly underrated: CopyParty. Its an entire fileserver in a little over 1 MB. You can host it on anything that runs python and the client can be anything with a browser. It’s unbelievably simple and efficient. If I knew self hosting was this easy I would have started sooner.

For an unbelievably simple WebDAV server, you may want to look into copyparty.

It depends on your needs, as it is not as full featured as some options out there, but it’s one Python file that you can just download and open. Boom. Fileserver.

For Android, you can use any of those on your server and DAVx5 on the phone. That makes it accessible to any calendar and contacts app systemwide. Some apps may also be able to connect directly, such as Etar.

Same. It’s pretty much my best behaved container.

I’ve also had pretty good testing with One Calendar, but in general I prefer open source apps unless the proprietary app offers unique benefits.

I do wish they would spin off the Calendar into a standalone app, but they haven’t shown any interest in moving that direction. I use it for email anyway so I don’t mind.

There is an inherent cost to internet freedom from using chromium browsers. It gives Google, which controls the back-end, leverage to redefine how the internet works. It’s not as though they haven’t already done it on multiple occasions.

People will say things like “some websites run better on Chrome” as though that’s a selling point and not a red flag.

I’m not saying no one should use it or develop on it, but you have to be okay with the real cost.

Shame, it was a great project. Guess I’ll be migrating to calibre-web automated.

Looks promising. Thunderbird works great for me for now. There are increasingly good solutions for mobile as well.

Great app! If there were Android TV support, I’d switch today.

I’ve been running Booklore for a while now, and was actually looking into calibre-web automated lol.

I’m interested if it has WebDAV support. It’s maybe a niche feature but I just discovered a great app that has it for backup option.

Lemmy has been a big part of it.

I’ve never been fond of paying big tech to spy on me. It has been getting gradually more expensive and more intrusive for years. Around the time I reached a breaking point, folks here helped me realize that digital sovereignty is possible.

One day I was just like, “Why does Google need to know when my lightswich is on?” And that was the start of it.

You obviously understand the concept, given your very specific constraints. OP noted that the particular photo they took would need to be cropped or edited to protect their location.

This photo shows like 1% of a building, no cars, road, structures, or horizon.

Applying the rule “no outdoor photos of your location” covers all of these possibilities, making it a pretty good rule of thumb. Even if you are cautious, you could accidentally post some rare tree or background detail that gives up your location.

So we shouldn’t shame anyone for not posting photos they consider unsafe.

It is basically trivial at this point to connect an outdoor picture to a physical location. This sounds like basic online safety to me.

Bad bot.
