# Linux # Homelab To Do Given what you've been building in your homelab (BookStack, Nginx Proxy Manager, Cloudflare, Proxmox), I'd strongly recommend **Nextcloud Calendar**. ## My Recommendation: Nextcloud Calendar Why it fits your use case: ✅ Self-hosted (LXC or Docker) ✅ Native CalDAV support ✅ Subscribe to external ICS feeds (AFL, F1, MotoGP, NRL, Premier League, etc.) ✅ Excellent mobile support (iPhone and Android) ✅ Multiple calendars with different colours ✅ Can be exposed through NPM/Cloudflare like your other services ✅ Easy to back up alongside your other containers You can have:
CalendarSource
WorkSynced from Exchange
AFLICS subscription
Formula 1ICS subscription
FamilyManually maintained
PersonalYour own events
All displayed in a single calendar application.
---
## Exchange → Nextcloud Sync Since you already mentioned **CalDavSynchronizer**, the typical setup is:
Plain Text
Exchange Online
↓
CalDav Synchronizer
↓
Nextcloud Calendar (CalDAV)
↓
iPhone Calendar App
CalDav Synchronizer runs on your Windows PC and mirrors your Outlook calendar into Nextcloud. Alternative solutions include:
- Keeper.sh (open source) – supports Outlook, ICS and CalDAV sources. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/ridafkih/keeper.sh), [\[keeper.sh\]](https://www.keeper.sh/) - DAVMail – provides CalDAV connectivity for Exchange/O365. [\[sourceforge.net\]](https://sourceforge.net/directory/calendar/) ---
## iPhone Access On iOS you can simply add the Nextcloud account:
Plain Text
Settings
→ Calendar
→ Accounts
→ Add Account
→ Other
→ Add CalDAV Account
Point it at:
Plain Text
https://calendar.yourdomain.com
(or whatever hostname you choose). Your native Apple Calendar app will then show:
- Work calendar - Sports calendars - Personal calendars
all together.
---
## Best Sources for Sports ICS Feeds A surprisingly good new project is: **Open Sports Cal** – provides free ICS subscriptions for:
- AFL - NBA - NHL - MLB - Formula 1 - MotoGP - Premier League - World Cup - Many others. [\[github.com\]](https://github.com/vinnyab28/open-sports-cal)
You simply subscribe using the ICS URL and Nextcloud refreshes automatically.

## If You Want Something Lighter Than Nextcloud ### Baïkal Very lightweight:
Plain Text
Baikal
├─ CalDAV
├─ CardDAV
├─ Tiny footprint
└─ Easy LXC deployment
Excellent if you only need calendars and contacts. The downside is that it's much more basic than Nextcloud.

## What I Would Build In Your Homelab For your current setup, I'd do:
Plain Text
Proxmox LXC
│
├── Nextcloud
│ ├── Personal Calendar
│ ├── Work Calendar
│ ├── AFL Calendar
│ ├── Formula 1 Calendar
│ └── Family Calendar
│
├── Nginx Proxy Manager
└── Cloudflare
Then:
Plain Text
Outlook (work)
↓
CalDav Synchronizer
↓
Nextcloud
↓
iPhone Calendar
That gives you a single calendar app on your phone showing work, sporting events, and personal schedules all in one place with no Microsoft dependency beyond the Exchange source. # Fedora Setup Windows boot missing after installing linux - Boot to windows 11 installation media - Shift F10
