  • I have a self-hosted Baikal server with self-signed CA on Android 14 and it works.

    However, I didn’t had to add the certificate to Davx⁵ itself. Adding a rootCA into your device and your reverse proxy handling the request should work as expected over https.

    Those kind of things are difficult to troubleshoot, this could be:

    • Bad rootCA certificate, missing the necessary options ?
    • Wrong certificate handled by your reverse proxy ?
    • Radicale doesn’t recognize your certificate extension ?
    • Wrong networking configuration ?
    • Bug ?

    We need more infos about your setup:

    • Do you use a reverse proxy ?
    • Had you already any success with this certificate within an other application ?
    • Any logs from your Android, Davx⁵?








  • Yep, Debian for sure ! 3 years ago I settled for debian on an old spare laptop, It’s still cruisen with more than 21 containers !! Sure I had a few fresh installs because skill issues, lack of proper configuration, user mistakes… But it’s probably the easiest to maintain and learn as a beginner !

    No idea what’s your level and how close you’re with computers and how much time you have to spare, but don’t be afraid to make mistakes and try a few things out.

    If you are like me just a plain old geek who knew his way arround computers and used Hamachi back in the days, thinking you were a HAKKER… Get ready to get your ass kicked !

    While self-hosting and de-googling is fun, it also has alot of negative things:

    • Time consuming
    • Involves ALOT of Searxing/Reading
    • Debuggin (kinda…)
    • Learning the basics of at least 1 scripting language (consider bash your ally)
    • It’s an infinite rabbit hole that will suck you in and sometimes get to your nerves…

    One of the best advice I could give you along the way is, If you’re stuck on a bug or something isn’t working as expected in your setup and It seems you couldn’t find any answer or similar issues on the web, you absolutly have to take a break, not a 5min cigarette break… A few hours bicycle/sleep break !!!

    The next day you will for sure find a solution !!

    Good luck, have fun and don’t forget to take time for yourself and people arround you !




  • You can always try out their free Tier.

    While you get limited bandwidth it’s really okayish for normal use. Do not try to connect over a peer2peer connection, it’s disabled in the free tier and your connection goes "Wooosh! *

    I’m very Happy with their free tier, I even route my mobile’s traffic through the same VPN connection with wireguard and some iptables.

  • Traefik gang here 👊 !

    But only because it works so easily with docker !! I remember a time where I though that you need a diploma and read/learn/understand a 10000 page dictionary to make nginx work properly.

    Also hated the syntax of nginx… It can look so ugly and gibberish :/.

    But I do believe Nginx is superior and more mature in many more aspects than Treafik. Still, Traefik is a breeze and is in IMO way easier to configure with docker than Nginx.






  • Do you think webdav somehow dumps you database? No it’s just a protocol to save your files on your webserver. It’s just a middelman.

    recommended to somebody an option that is the exact opposite of what you know to be true.

    Yeah it’s my recommendation from my personal experience. Is that wrong? I use it nearly everyday without any data corruption. Is my personal experience not valide?

    The point is, syncthing is rock solid, never had any issue being it with my zotero database or syncing files between my devices. If you’re a Nextcloud advocate or are against my personal opinion so be it :).

    Agree that we disagree !
