Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

So I am following the Radicale docs.

And the first method is this:

as normal user Recommended only for testing

Okay, I'm not testing, so I move onto the next one:

as system user (or as root) Alternatively, you can install and run as system user or as root (not recommended):

Okay, so this method is not recommended...

And there aren't anymore.

So what's the recommended method for non-testing environments?????
