I’m currently using a Nextcloud instance hosted by a volunteer run non profit. 12€ per account per year, I have one for me and my girlfriend.

However, calendar sharing is limited to people on the users on that Nextcloud instance, which is a bit limiting.

Do you have alternatives that allow federated calendar sharing?

https://calendar.online/ seems promising and is German, has anyone used them before?

    Do you have some specific features that are “must have” for you? I’m using the calendar from Proton (considering that I’m using their services as a bundle for mail+drive, I thought “why not”). So far I haven’t found any issues with that, but I’m not a “calendar heavy” user.

    My only minor gripe is, that their ipadOS application is just a port from the iOS, not a full-fledged tablet version.

        In the mentioned Proton calendar, you can share your calendars, but NOT when using the free plan.

        So I would say - if you’re already using Proton “suite”, you can give it a go. But if you don’t then I don’t think it makes sense to pay just for their calendar feature. It’s pretty basic (which is sufficient for me, but not for everyone)

        I’m running it on a “normal” server, which hosts many VMs. Baikal being one of them. But it would also run on any potato or a raspy. It’s not very demanding. Also was simple to set up.

            I dunno the specifics of the chromebook or mrchromebook (i assume some linux?), but I’d take a wild guess with: YEAH. But when working it syncs nicely with e.g. thunderbird or any android-calendar (via davx5 foss) or basically any DAV-able app. If it’s just for at-home, then you don’t need much maintenance, if it shall be reachable from the outside, it should be a bit more hardened and maintained, obviously.

    I use a 1 Euro Ionos Server with Baikal. It’s got enough recourses for hosting a RSS solution as well.

    For those who prefer apps, there’s OurCal, developed by an English company. I’ve just started using it.

    Ourcal

    The application looks quite ergonomic.

      Thank you!

      Is it compatible with open calendar formats? The webpage shows Google, Outlook and Apple, obviously we are trying to avoid those at the moment 😄

      Also, you might want to check your language settings, your comment was taggued as French, some people might not see it. !languagesettings@lemmy.zip can help, I think there is also something at !support@jlai.lu

        Thank you !

        Yes, you can link the classic American calendars, but you can also use the calendar provided by the app, which is not linked to these services.

        As for the language problem, I’ll look into it, but maybe it has something to do with the fact that I’m French in a French Instance ? I’m new to Lemmy.
