After my previous server got hacked (presumably), I am now looking for new solutions to my needs. CalDAV/CardDAV is a big one.

So far I switched from a content management system (PHP) to a static site generator for my blog, and I’m not looking back.

I wonder if it makes sense to also step away from PHP wrt CalDAV/CardDAV.

As ever so often, this list has some nice info.

I’d like to keep dependencies low. Python would be a good choice because it’s already installed on my Debian Stable system. But would it be safer?

Back when I started this compatibility with clients was an issue; but I don’t use Android anymore. In any case, is this still an issue?

edit: no, I don’t use a web based app; and I’d prefer the server doesn’t require admin via web UI either.

    I use radicale. Safe and solid. Zero php.

    You need to install a separate app if you want a web based calendar ui, or you can just use dav5x on android or any other caldav client.

      Thanks for the tip. Already set it up. I like it - does just what I need and not much more. And the web UI can be disabled.
