EDIT- The issue is having is with “Authentication”. I haven’t made it past that step. Incorrectly said “addresses” on the original post.


Yo yo! Fairly new to making a change towards privacy. My brother gave me a raspberry pi 4 and I want to experiment with that before making a bigger change towards my other electronics. Rn I’m working on using radicale on the pi4 and I’m stuck because I can’t understand the technological language.

I’m trying to follow the tutorial on the radicale website but am getting stuck in the “addresses” authentication part. I can’t enter in anything Into the initial command prompt I used to create the radicale website. And when I make a new command prompt and enter that in nothing happens. I asked AI and it spits out an answer that isn’t dumbed down enough for me. Lemmy is my last hope before I try Reddit …

    Do you mean this config option?

    [server] 
    hosts = 0.0.0.0:5232, [::]:5232
    

    That is binding the service to a network interface and port. For example your computer probably has a loopback interface and an Ethernet interface and WiFi interface. And you can bind to an IPv4 and or IPv6 address on those interfaces. Which ones do you want radicale to listen to traffic from and on what port? The example above listens on all interfaced both IPv4 and IPv6 and uses port 5323 on all. Of course that port must not be in use on any interface. Generally using this notation is insecure, but fine for testing. Put the real IP addresses when you’re ready.

      I thought I was stuck there but I misspoke. I made an edit to the original post. Thanks for the insight tho! In sure that’ll be helpful once I actually get there.
