Radicale is a free and open-source library that provides a simple CalDAV and CardDAV server. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Radicale on NetBSD.
Before you begin with the installation process, you will have to make sure you have the following:
Now that you have met the prerequisites, let's proceed with the installation process.
Open your terminal and log in as a user with sudo privileges.
To start the installation, we need to install Radicale dependencies. Radicale is built using Python, so we need to install Python first. Enter the following command to install Python:
sudo pkgin install python
sudo pkgin install py37-ldap py37-tz py37-setuptools
sudo pkgin install radicale
sudo nano /usr/pkg/etc/radicale/config
Within the configuration file, you can change the settings such as port numbers, user authentication, and logging. Once you have made the necessary changes, save the file.
Lastly, we need to start the Radicale service. Enter the following command:
sudo /usr/pkg/sbin/radicale
OR
sudo /etc/rc.d/radicale start
And now, you have successfully installed and configured Radicale on NetBSD!
In this tutorial, we learned how to install and configure Radicale on NetBSD. Radicale is a very useful library for managing calendar and contact information. It is easy to install, and once you get the hang of the configuration file, it is easy to use as well.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
