Radicale

Radicale is a lightweight Calendar/Contacts Server written in Python. Radicale does not fully support CalDAV, and I have already started running into issues with the code quality. I am moving to baikal.

Install

BSD

This program was clearly written with linux in mind, and had a few hiccups while I was attempting to install it. Fixes recorded below.

sudo pkg install py27-radicale

#### /etc/rc.conf
radicale_enable="YES"

####

## NOTE:   freebsd radicale installer has an issue,
##         the radicale group is unable to be created properly
##         without a fix, you can start radicale to test with the
##         following command:
radicale --debug -c /usr/local/etc/radicale/config

debug info

#### /usr/local/etc/rc.d/radicale
command_args="-d --debug -p ${pidfile} -C ${radicale_config}"		## add debug, so can get actually useful info
####

compensating for mistakes in package

log-config lookup fix

## radicale tries (incorrectly) to log to read logging config from /etc/radicale/logging
## 
sudo ln -s /usr/local/etc/radicale /etc/radicale
sudo touch                 /var/log/radicale
sudo chown radicale:wheel  /var/log/radicale

groupmod fix

sudo pw userdel  -n radicale
sudo pw groupdel -n radicale					## delete any existing radicale group

sudo pw groupadd -n radicale -g 974			## installer requires a gid of 974
sudo pw useradd     radicale -g radicale	## create user radicale, and add to group

sudo pkg install -f py27-radicale
sudo chown radicale:wheel /var/run/radicale
sudo service radicale start

Final Advisory

## After performing the above fixes, I had a typo in my config (hpasswd instead of htpasswd)
## which was preventing the program from running. 
--debug mode was silencing any errors (they are NOT written to the log), 
in fact the log did not record any issues at all.

If you do run into issues, try to reproduce the condition running the command in the foreground.
It has proven abslutely invaluable to me.

# make sure you have a user called radicale
# Create a passwd file
htpasswd.py -cb /usr/local/etc/radicale/users    radicale   <password>

#### /usr/local/etc/radicale/config
[auth]
type = htasswd
htpasswd_filename = /usr/local/etc/radicale/users
####

sudo service radicale start

Errors

## Repeatedly I received error 500 (only on some computers) (which is apparently Internal Error)
## github posts suggest there should be a stack-trace somewhere when this occurs.
