  • I have a self-hosted Baikal server with self-signed CA on Android 14 and it works.

    However, I didn’t had to add the certificate to Davx⁵ itself. Adding a rootCA into your device and your reverse proxy handling the request should work as expected over https.

    Those kind of things are difficult to troubleshoot, this could be:

    • Bad rootCA certificate, missing the necessary options ?
    • Wrong certificate handled by your reverse proxy ?
    • Radicale doesn’t recognize your certificate extension ?
    • Wrong networking configuration ?
    • Bug ?

    We need more infos about your setup:

    • Do you use a reverse proxy ?
    • Had you already any success with this certificate within an other application ?
    • Any logs from your Android, Davx⁵?










  • Yep, Debian for sure ! 3 years ago I settled for debian on an old spare laptop, It’s still cruisen with more than 21 containers !! Sure I had a few fresh installs because skill issues, lack of proper configuration, user mistakes… But it’s probably the easiest to maintain and learn as a beginner !

    No idea what’s your level and how close you’re with computers and how much time you have to spare, but don’t be afraid to make mistakes and try a few things out.

    If you are like me just a plain old geek who knew his way arround computers and used Hamachi back in the days, thinking you were a HAKKER… Get ready to get your ass kicked !

    While self-hosting and de-googling is fun, it also has alot of negative things:

    • Time consuming
    • Involves ALOT of Searxing/Reading
    • Debuggin (kinda…)
    • Learning the basics of at least 1 scripting language (consider bash your ally)
    • It’s an infinite rabbit hole that will suck you in and sometimes get to your nerves…

    One of the best advice I could give you along the way is, If you’re stuck on a bug or something isn’t working as expected in your setup and It seems you couldn’t find any answer or similar issues on the web, you absolutly have to take a break, not a 5min cigarette break… A few hours bicycle/sleep break !!!

    The next day you will for sure find a solution !!

    Good luck, have fun and don’t forget to take time for yourself and people arround you !






  • You can always try out their free Tier.

    While you get limited bandwidth it’s really okayish for normal use. Do not try to connect over a peer2peer connection, it’s disabled in the free tier and your connection goes "Wooosh! *

    I’m very Happy with their free tier, I even route my mobile’s traffic through the same VPN connection with wireguard and some iptables.
