  • That’s exactly what CalDAV servers allow. The easiest to set up is probably Baikal, but Radicale/NextCloud are also good options.

    The built-in iOS/macOS Reminders.app supports CalDAV for calendars and tasks. Everything is available offline, you can add/edit/delete events and tasks, and it will sync back to the server when you are online again.

    This is what Vikunja should allow, but sadly their CalDAV implementation is broken.











  • In my opinion, they do different things.

    SFTP/SCP are great ways of transferring files between computers. I prefer rsync for most things because it can resume transfers and checksum results. I’d never use FTPS because SFTP/SCP comes with SSH, and why run a separate service? SSHFS is another way to use SSH to transfer files (it mounts a remote file system to your local computer so you can use all your normal file management tools).

    NextCloud (and similar) do a bunch of additional things:

    • Provides clients which sync files to your local computer
    • Provides a web interface for managing files
    • Provides ways to share files without creating accounts
    • Allows connecting external storage (eg. S3)
    • Provides encryption
    • And a lot more

    If SFTP does everything you need, that’s awesome. Use it. :-)
