We are nearly google free. The last thing we need to sort out is the calendar. Currently still using Google calendar through a browser.
We have multiple calendars, that are shared between a number of people, that need accessing from different OSs/ devices.
Proton looked the answer, but the way it’s pricing bundles work and its lack of a Ubuntu drive app mean it is not ideal. Or is anyone using Proton drive successfully with Linux?
Does anyone have a recommendation for a calendar, that is cloud hosted, supports multiple calendars that can be shared, and of course allows import/migration from Google?
I like Fossify Calendar because it has the builtin features of showing local holidays and birthdays from the contacts. (What I couldn’t manage until now is to export a list of events into a file, my files are always empty.)
Thanks for that, I can’t find much info on it, the web site is pretty useless. It’s the cloud/ storage side of google I need to find an alternative for. Is fossify calendar just a client side app? It might make for a stop gap rather than using the browser if so but not the long term solution.
Of course it’s a client side app, it runs on your device only. You can then decide to use cloud storage for one or more calendars (for instance in the /e/-cloud) or to use local storage on your device. You can also mix it.
I really like that, thank you. Not something for the casual user though. If I was going to pay for Proton would want a more supported way of syncing folders in Ubuntu, much like pCloud has.
here’s a list of caldav providers: CalDAV · Tasks - fruux is nice, but at the family pricing you can already look into hosted nextcloud (hetzner specifically) where you have unlimited users.
Editing each others calendars is hard (write access), just subscribing is easy.
One advice is if the use-case is family calendar with no secrets and everybody contributing: create a separate user account that every device has access to as basis to do “common calendars”
Maybe you could search for Nextcloud instances (for example, the italian group leading Mastodon.uno, Devol, offer this possibility to their users) or install one yourself. I have one myself on a PC at home, share this with my family (and potentially others).
I am just really looking for a like for like replacement for Google Calendar. I think Proton is the best I can find, such a shame that Proton drive doesn’t work with Linux.
