Radicale
Radicale is a self-hosted CalDAV and CardDAV server implemented in Python that enables calendar and contact synchronization across multiple clients using open standards. It stores all data directly on the filesystem in a simple folder hierarchy, eliminating the need for an external database, and automatically tracks every change by committing modifications to a Git repository for version history and backup.
The server distinguishes itself through a modular plugin architecture that allows custom Python modules to extend authentication, storage backends, and web interface functionality at startup. Access control is managed through regex-based rules that govern read, write, and delete permissions on individual collections, while user identity is verified through multiple configurable authentication backends before granting access. All client-server communication is secured through TLS encryption.
Radicale includes an event-driven notification system that triggers automated push alerts via email or message queues when calendar events are created or modified. A built-in web interface provides direct management of calendars and address books through the server URL, and the server can be deployed as a Docker container supporting both linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 platforms.
