From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use CalDav for calendar, contacts and tasks sync and share with the rest of the family.

Server is Nextcloud with WebDav/WebCal/CardDav and DavX5, Etar calendar, native contacts and OpenTasks on android. On Linux WebDav to access and sync Nextcloud files.

How do you use them?

Edit: Added CardDav for contacts.

Is there a lightweight sever for WebDAV? Or is running NextCloud the best option?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I think Nextcloud is an easy option. Lots of dedicated FOSS WebDav servers out there. For CardDav and CalDav (Contacts and calendar) I rembember that Radicale is recommended: https://radicale.org/v3.html

Radicale is more specific, it is CalDAV/CardDAV and not WebDAV. If that's what you're looking for, it's an amazing option. I've used it for years and I really like how it stores calendar events as a folder of ICS files; it makes backup and sync very easy.

For a general, lightweight WebDAV server, you can use the nginx DAV module. Nextcloud (or whatever you use) probably will be reverse proxied by nginx anyway, so if you can just enable a module in nginx, that's pretty much as lightweight as it can get.

edit: forgot the link https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_dav_module.html

Oh this is great, thanks for this pointer, I'll look into nginx
