setting up radicale (carddav / caldav) with alpine 3.18 template

[tomtom1964bo]

Hi, if anyone is interested in a lightweight carddav server. Here are my steps for installing radicale on alpine 3.18.
For me it worked this way.

1a - create new CT with alpine3.18 - Template (Disk 0,25GB , Ram 128MB, Swap 128MB)

1 - update and upgrade after install
apk update && apk upgrade

2 - Install radicale, nano and apache2-utils
apk add radicale nano apache2-utils

3 - Security: The storage should not be readable by others. (Run chmod -R o= /var/lib/radicale/collections as root.)
chmod -R o= /var/lib/radicale/collections

4 - Get your ip address
ip addr

5 - Edit /etc/radicale/config for setting ip address and authentification method
nano /etc/radicale/config

[server]

# CalDAV server hostnames separated by a comma
# IPv4 syntax: address:port
# IPv6 syntax: [address]:port
# For example: 0.0.0.0:9999, [::]:9999
# Set your ip address
hosts = 192.168.1.196:5232

[auth]

# Authentication method
# Value: none | htpasswd | remote_user | http_x_remote_user
# Set htpasswd
type = htpasswd

# Htpasswd filename
# Set filename
htpasswd_filename = /etc/radicale/users

# Htpasswd encryption method
# Value: plain | bcrypt | md5
# bcrypt requires the installation of radicale[bcrypt].
# Set encryption method
htpasswd_encryption = bcrypt

6 - Save the file

7 - Create user and password
htpasswd -B -c /etc/radicale/users user1

8 - Start service
rc-service radicale start

9 - Add service to default runlevel
rc-update add radicale

10 - webbrowser login
192.168.1.196:5232

Hola tomtom1964bo :
He tenido que borrar algunos lxc de mi servidor, por haber cambiado la configuración de proxmox.
Ahora al intentar instalar radicale con tu tutorial me da este error.

Lo he intentando con varias versiones de alpine y sigue el mismo error.

Mi archivo de configuración tiene algo así:

[server]

# CalDAV server hostnames separated by a comma
# IPv4 syntax: address:port
# IPv6 syntax: [address]:port
# For example: 0.0.0.0:9999, [::]:9999
hosts = 192.168.88.122:5232

[auth]

# Authentication method
# Value: none | htpasswd | remote_user | http_x_remote_user
#type = htpasswd

# Htpasswd filename
htpasswd_filename = /etc/radicale/users

# Htpasswd encryption method
# Value: plain | bcrypt | md5
# bcrypt requires the installation of radicale[bcrypt].
htpasswd_encryption = bcrypt

Hola knario,
i'm no technician. But did you try to clear your browser cache? That is one possible solution i found on google.
Did you change your password? Some people had trouble with bcrypt-encryption.

Muchas gracias por responder tomtom1964bo !!!
Lo probaré sin Bcrypt-encryption, seguramente sea eso.
Feliz comienzo de semana. :-)

In my case radicale didn't work with this setup and gave a 500 Error.
To fix this I had to remove the command user line from /etc/init.d/radicale

Hi Florian,
thanks for your solution.

Thanks, works like a charm!

How do you remove a user, and how to change password for a user?
