I currently use fruux (which is proprietary) to synchronise my to-do lists and calendars. However, I was wondering if there was a FOSS CalDAV service which I could use for free.

I have already looked into Nextcloud, and I don't believe it is what I'm looking for. I also don't want to use ProtonCalendar or Tutanota Calendar, as they only work with their own respective apps.

In a nutshell, I would like a service that:

  • Supports CalDAV
  • Is free (as in free beer)
  • Supports both calendars and to-do lists

EDIT: I am able to self-host some apps using Render, but they must be compatible.

I use decsyncCC - which can use a folder as a form of DAV - combined with syncthing across devices. This requires no server and works well, the only problem is idk of any good decsyncCC folder-structure parsers that can be accessed as a local DAV service from the desktop.

Here's a github topic about Caldav. You might find something in at least one of the repos. https://github.com/topics/caldav

Maybe Etesync: https://www.etesync.com/

I think you can pay them to host. Maybe can self host too.

Why is Nextcloud not what you're looking for? Sounds perfect for what you're after.

Oh ok you should probably clarify that in the OP since everyone is giving you recommendations of self hosted software. It's usually assumed that's what someone's after when they are asking for a FOSS service.

There are some places that have one click (prepackaged ) Nextcloud installations. I set up one on Vultr in just a few minutes. If you’re savvy enough to even know that you want FOSS, which I applaud heartily, then you can handle a Nextcloud installation.

I'm not rrleally sure how calash clients work, but maybe you can sync them manually with something like Syncthing.
