Re: [orca-list] Calendar applications and CalDAV servers



Thank you for an informative review of the options for both client and server.

On the Orca side, when Arch Linux updates to the latest Thunderbird, it will be interesting to find out whether there are accessibility improvements. Thunderbird has apparently become a much more active project lately.

Hello,
At the one hand nextcloud has everything included but performance is not that great and it has a lot of corner case issues. Instead I am using python 3 based server called radicale for caldav and carddav behing a nginx as a reverse proxy authenticating users through ldap. Of course it has ability to configure user credentials inside a simple configuration file if you would like to make it simpler. On android the only serious robust app is DAVx⁵. However recently I have found out I have issues finding accessible calendar app for android. Android AOSP includes inaccessible calendar app since android 12. Lineage OS calendar app called etar is partially accessible so only the agenda view is accessible. On the desktop I like to use thunderbird with its built-in calendar and addressbook. This way I have both calendar and contacts hosted on my own server and synced on desktop and mobile. Of course thunderbird calendar has some accessibility issues but it has improved significantly in terms of accessibility since lightning calendar addon has been included to the thunderbird it-self. Thunderbird can also handle tasks. On android you will need to get an app for handling tasks. Opentask has some unlabelled buttons but is otherwise usable and works great with DAVx⁵. If you would like to get an ability to have your calendars and contacts versioned and encrypted, you might like to explore etesync server, android app and desktop apps are open-source. I am not sure about etesync status in Thunderbird though.

Greetings

Peter

It may be overkill for what you're trying to do, but I run NextCloud, which is easy to install and includes a fairly good calendar. There are a couple of good CalDAV/CardDAV applications on F-Droid that work for me to get my NextCloud calendar and contacts to sync with my phone. Evolution also works with CalDAV servers, and I believe Thunderbird now can without an extension as well, though I haven't tried it yet.
