Radicale: After setup configuration steps

[tremor021]

Basics:

The LXC script installs only the application and creates the credentials for the first user, in our case its the user: admin.
On application launch, it loads the default config, which is basically a empty shell that only enables the application to bring up the UI which you can access via IP:5232

The application looks for configuration files in:

/etc/radicale/config
~/.config/radicale/config

Whatever location you choose, it will work.

Creating users:

Default location for the users file is /opt/radicale/users. New users are added using he htpasswd utility that we install alongside the application. The encryption for the password is SHA-512, so the command to add new users would be:
htpasswd -b -5 /opt/radicale/users userhere passwordhere

Server configuration:

This is how a simple server configuration looks like:

[server]
hosts = 0.0.0.0:5232

[auth]
type = htpasswd
htpasswd_filename = /opt/radicale/users
htpasswd_encryption = sha512

[storage]
filesystem_folder=/home/root/.var/lib/radicale/collections

Storage section is where you point Radicale to the folder which will store all the data.

From here on, you need to setup the server the way YOU want to use it or secure it. Here are some important documentation pages:
https://radicale.org/master.html#reverse-proxy
https://radicale.org/master.html#configuration
https://radicale.org/master.html#authentication-and-rights

Read carefuly and determine what kind of configuration you want to run.

Radicale will not start if either of these directories exist, because it thinks they are config files.

/etc/radicale/config
~/.config/radicale/config

Up, I don't see any of those files

Up what? How can you see configuration files when they dont exist. you need to create them... did you read the guide at all?
