AgenDAV

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2024-09-24T13:08:18+00:00

AgenDAV AgenDAV is a CalDAV web client which features an AJAX interface to allow users to manage their own calendars and shared ones. It can connect to your Radicale server and let you interact and show your calendars from a web page. Unfortunately i didn't managed to make it work with Authelia authentication so i gave up. Also, it might not work as sub-path, and i didn't want to spin up an additional subdomain just for this. The project overall seems abandoned since a few years, anyway.

FileBrowser

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2025-09-23T12:50:49+00:00

FileBrowser Note: i have started using OpenList instead.
