Package: radicale
Version: 3.1.8-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I have installed Radicale Card/CalDAV server on Debian Bookworm (12.4).
apt install radicale
Install adds "radicale" user and group OK.
Config file in /etc/radicale/config
I did not change the config file (initially).
Enable and use systemd service (installed as
/lib/systemd/system/radicale.service).
systemctl enable radicale.service
systemctl start radicale.service
systemctl status radicale.service :

-------------------
In /var/log/syslog (and journal) :
Jan 12 10:50:29 vesta systemd[1]: Started radicale.service - A simple CalDAV
(calendar) and CardDAV (contact) server.
Radicale systemd unit includes a "[Service]" section :
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/radicale
Restart=on-failure
LogsDirectory=radicale
User=radicale
and should use a log file : /var/log/radicale
ls -l /var/log :
drwxr-xr-x 2 radicale radicale 4096 Jan 12 10:50 radicale
However this directory is empty and never populated.
Set logging to "info" in config file and : systemctl restart radicale :
/var/log/syslog :

/var/log/radicale is still empty. No log file written here.
I assume I should see logging go to a file under this directory. I also
assume that I might be doing something wrong.
Many Thanks for having a look.
