Any good FOSS weekly planners / calendars you'd recommend? (beehaw.org)

I'd like to have a tool to break down my free time in a week and try to get some schedule going on, while also keeping track of upcoming events (import from google calendar would be nice). Ideally no cloud service - would like to have it offline on my PC, and would be nice if it can run in the background and play alerts/notifications for upcoming events.

Are there any tools like this that you can recommend for this? Just trying to get my weeks a bit more structured and doing it in a excel grid, while practical at first, gets tedious fast and has a lot of manual labor involved.

In general, I agree with the sentiment - at the same time, I think the idea behind Nextcloud is to cover more use-cases at once and serve as some kind of a "extensible platform"... and honestly, it does that quite well

Oh, I definitely agree, it’s a really good tool if you need that. But on trying to find and setup a FOSS calendar server, I repeatedly saw the sentiment of “why not install Nextcloud?”. I just wanted a calendar server that would sync with native apps, I didn’t need a web interface for it. I didn’t want to dedicate the resources either. Baikal needs 1gb of RAM and 1 vCPU. Nextcloud needs 4-8x that, at a minimum.

Honestly, I am pretty surprised that Baikal requires that much :D It should literally take no more than 100 MB of memory and way less CPU, IMO - or did you mean the size of a VM?

The size of the VM itself. I run a MariaDB container on the same VM for Obsidian syncing. They both chug along happily. I can’t assign it less than a single vCPU, but that is still just one thread on a two thread core. I could assign it less than 1GB of RAM, but the box has 128GB so why bother?
