CalDAV Server Without Exposing Server? (lemm.ee)

I self-host a couple of services, but I haven’t exposed anything outside my home network. I want to self-host my calendar, but not sure if I can do it without exposing it. Any recommendations on the best way to go about this? For those who do self-host a calendar service, how do you keep it secure?

I think the general consensus for homelabbers is a mesh network -- Tailscale and Netbird are the two most popular options

Or headscale.

VPN is the way to go if you're not sharing it with a bunch of people

Unless you live a very dynamic lifestyle that requires your calendar to be 24/7 synced, you can just use whatever server software you like, make it listen in LAN only, and have your devices sync when they're at home.

DecSyncCC and Syncthing is another option.

Late response. I used to host radicale, but switched to MyPhoneExplorer a few years ago. I just sync from the laptop to the phone over bluetooth. It does contacts and memos as well. Reminds me of the old Palm Desktop sync.

Radicale is the GOAT and supports authentication. Or you can just run it on a LAN behind a firewall.

Who do you want to have access to said calendar?

[–] ClownsInSpace2@lemm.ee 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Just myself, but I would like to keep it synced between my phone and my laptop while also keeping a backup.

[–] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Then you should really look into setting up a personal VPN. After that what you use to do calendar becomes irrelevant in terms of access.

Related question, what CalDAV server are you using? Been looking for something lightweight

[–] hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 1 points 5 months ago

I think Baikal or Radicale would be the usual contenders for that
