Hi, everyone!
For several years, I’ve relied on NextCloud as a substitute for Google services. The time has come to say goodbye and move on in life. I’ve decided to replace my NextCloud instance with separate services for files, calendar, photos, notes, and to-do lists.
I’ve already found alternatives for all services, except for the calendar.
Does anyone have experience with FOSS projects that would allow me to self-host a calendar? I’m looking for something that supports CalDAV, has its own (pretty) user interface (webui), caters to multiple users, and supports multiple calendars.
And if anyone is interested in the alternatives I’ve found for each NextCloud component, here’s the list:
NextCloud Files -> File Browser NextCloud Notes -> Joplin NextCloud Photos -> Immich NextCloud Tasks -> Vikunja NextCloud Calendar -> ???___
Edit:
In the end, I used Radicale software. I deployed it in a docker container and it worked almost right out of the box.

Just follow this tutorial and you will have Radicale setup via docker. Radicale is lightweight and really does help me to get away with all the caldav/cardav necessities.
I see radicale recomended, but in what ways is it better than nextcloud? I moved to nextcloud for calendar due to syncing issues when sharing calendars. So far it seems to be fine, but this question got me wondering about what can be done better.
The only thing I’ve found that bothers me is that to add someone to the event he needs to also have nextcloud otherwise it gets weird.
