Xandikos is a CalDAV/CardDAV server that allows you to synchronize contacts and calendars across multiple devices. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Xandikos on macOS.
Open the terminal on your macOS.
Install Xandikos using the following command:
pip3 install xandikos
Once Xandikos is installed, create a new configuration file using the following command:
xandikos --init /path/to/config.ini
Replace /path/to/config.ini with the path where you want to create your configuration file.
Edit your configuration file using your preferred text editor. For example, you can use the following command to edit your configuration file using nano:
nano /path/to/config.ini
In your configuration file, uncomment the following section:
[server]
; enable this to bind to IPv6 address, default is IPV4
;address = ::1
; change to 'localhost' if you only want to allow local access
; otherwise, you can use '*' to allow access from any IP
;host = ::1
Replace host = ::1 with host = * to allow access from any IP address.
Save and exit your configuration file.
Start Xandikos using the following command:
xandikos /path/to/config.ini
Replace /path/to/config.ini with the path where you created your configuration file.
Verify that Xandikos is running by accessing http://localhost:5232 in your web browser. You should see a message saying "Xandikos is up and running!".
You have now successfully installed Xandikos on your macOS. You can now use CalDAV/CardDAV clients to connect to your server and synchronize your contacts and calendars.
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!
