1) One way (untested) could be to disable dynamic user configuration on 
your machine after ensuring the 'radicale' system user and group exist.

# addgroup --system radicale
# adduser --system --ingroup radicale --no-create-home --home 
/var/lib/radicale radicale
# mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/uwsgi-app at radicale.service.d
# echo -n "[Service]\nDynamicUser=no\n" > 
/etc/systemd/system/uwsgi-app at radicale.service.d/mychanges.conf
# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemd stop uwsgi-app at radicale.service

After this you could be able to symlink /var/lib/radicale to your home 
directory and the change ownership to radicale:radicale.

2) Another way (untested) to achieve this is perhaps to try link 
/var/lib/private/radicale to a path in your home directory. Then chown 
nobody:nobody on this directory. Make sure that parent of this data 
directory is not readable by other users on the system (just like 
/var/lib/private directory).
