Prerequisites

Before deploying, ensure your host environment is ready. See the Quick Start Guide for host setup instructions.

Deployment

Podman Compose

services:
  opencloud-radicale:
    image: "ghcr.io/daemonless/opencloud-radicale:latest"
    container_name: opencloud-radicale
    environment:
      - PUID=1000  # User ID for the application process
      - PGID=1000  # Group ID for the application process
      - TZ=UTC  # Timezone for the container
    volumes:
      - "/containers/opencloud-radicale:/config"
    ports:
      - "5232:5232"
    # always (not unless-stopped) so FreeBSD's podman rc.d auto-starts it at boot
    restart: always

Save as compose.yaml, then run podman-compose up -d.

AppJail Director

.env:

# .env

DIRECTOR_PROJECT=opencloud-radicale
PUID=1000
PGID=1000
TZ=UTC

appjail-director.yml:

# appjail-director.yml

options:
  - virtualnet: ':<random> default'
  - nat:
services:
  radicale:
    name: radicale
    options:
      - container: 'args:--pull'
      - expose: '5232:5232 proto:tcp'
    oci:
      user: root
      environment:
        - PUID: !ENV '${PUID}'
        - PGID: !ENV '${PGID}'
        - TZ: !ENV '${TZ}'
    volumes:
      - opencloud-radicale: /config
volumes:
  opencloud-radicale:
    device: '/containers/opencloud-radicale'

Makejail:

# Makejail

ARG tag=latest

OPTION container=boot
OPTION overwrite=force
OPTION from=ghcr.io/daemonless/opencloud-radicale:${tag}

Save the files above, then run appjail-director up.

Warning

Exposing ports in AppJail means that your service can be reached from remote hosts. If that is not your intention, do not expose the ports and communicate with the service using the jail's IPv4 address or hostname assigned by the virtual network.

To avoid exposing ports, just remove the expose option in your appjail-director.yml or from your command-line arguments.

Bastille

Warning

Bastille's OCI support is experimental. It requires buildah and shares the host network stack (inherit). Mount volumes with --volume HOST JAIL; without it, image-declared volumes are stored under ${bastille_volumesdir}/${jail}.

services:
  opencloud-radicale:
    name: opencloud-radicale
    image: "ghcr.io/daemonless/opencloud-radicale:latest"
    network:
      - mode: host
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=UTC
    volumes:
      - "/containers/opencloud-radicale:/config"

Save as bastille-compose.yml, then run bastille up.

!!! WARNING "Work in Progress"

This image is functional but may change significantly in a future release.

Intended for use with OpenCloud stack

This image can be used with OpenCloud to provide personal address books and calendars for each OpenCloud user.
The image relies on OpenCloud acting as an authenticating reverse proxy for radicale. Using it as a standalone radicale server is probably not a good idea.

Integrate with OpenCloud

To intergrate the radicale service with OpenCloud, you need to add a proxy configuration to OpenCloud. Create the file /path/to/container/opencloud/config/proxy.yaml with this content (or add the content below to your existing proxy.yaml configuration file):

additional_policies:
  - name: default
    routes:
      - endpoint: /caldav/
        backend: http://radicale:5232
        remote_user_header: X-Remote-User
        skip_x_access_token: true
        additional_headers:
          - X-Script-Name: /caldav
      - endpoint: /.well-known/caldav
        backend: http://radicale:5232
        remote_user_header: X-Remote-User
        skip_x_access_token: true
        additional_headers:
          - X-Script-Name: /caldav
      - endpoint: /carddav/
        backend: http://radicale:5232
        remote_user_header: X-Remote-User
        skip_x_access_token: true
        additional_headers:
          - X-Script-Name: /carddav
      - endpoint: /.well-known/carddav
        backend: http://radicale:5232
        remote_user_header: X-Remote-User
        skip_x_access_token: true
        additional_headers:
          - X-Script-Name: /carddav

Add the radicale service to your existing compose file for the OpenCloud stack by merging this:

services:
  opencloud:
    depends_on:
      - radicale
  radicale:
    image: ghcr.io/daemonless/opencloud-radicale:latest
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=UTC
    volumes:
      - /path/to/containers/opencloud-radicale:/config
    restart: unless-stopped

Architectures: amd64 User: bsd (UID/GID via PUID/PGID, defaults to 1000:1000) Base: FreeBSD 15
