Radicale integration in Mail-in-a-Box

[cmonty14]

Hi,
I'm a fan of simple and thin software solutions.
Searching a thin solution for Cal/CardDav and I think Radicale is a perfect match.
Searching a simple solution for mail server hosting Mail-in-a-Box is a perfect match.

Now I wonder if these two perfect solutions could be combined?

There's a discussion in Mail-in-a-Box about this topic, but nobody has started integration of Radicale, yet.

I'm not a developer and can hardly support this integration.
But as an end-user I would be happy to test it.

Ideally developers of Radicale and Mail-in-a-Box would start collaboration on this topic in order to replace Mail-in-a-Box's currently used Cal/CardDav service Nextcloud.

Sure? .. seems to be limited to ubuntu:

Mail-in-a-Box turns a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 LTS 64-bit machine into a working mail server by installing and configuring various components.

I understand your intention but from my developer's point of view both services (mail & dav) stand for its own .. integration of a DAV service into a mail server is more a thing that needs to be implemented on the mail server .. not sure if Radicale developers can really be a part of this task / there is no need to touch Radicale to integrate (DAV) into Mail-in-a-Box.

Mail-in-a-Box limitation to Ubuntu is true, but any VPS provider offers Ubuntu images.
Certainly a mailserver would benefit from Radicale integration to offer Cal/CardDav services. On the other hand Radical's publicity would increase with well-known Mail-in-a-Box solution.

Radicale is a code project: It contains functionality implementing server parts of CalDAV and CardDAV standards.

Mail-in-a-Box is an integration project: It integrates functionality contained in a range of other projects.

It is sensible for an integration project to widen its scope to cover more: The task mainly involves adapting more configuration files, to align the integrated parts to fit each other.
