Looking for a simple card/cal/WebDAV server that runs in docker.

Have tried Davis, Radicale and Baikal but have either struggled to get them working or found them a bitch to maintain.

Doesn’t have to be a DAV type solution. Syncing/backing up contacts and calendars from an android phone is essential.

    Would have said baikal if you haven’t alteady mentioned it. Can’t confirm that it’s a bitch to maintain, runs in my webjail for more than a year now. (Before I used nextcloud which IS a bitch in all matters…) The only hiccup was self induced, forgot to install it after php upgrade (FreeBSD, pkg is named php83-baikal for example).

    Specifically for webdav (Joplin sync) I use dave, though unmaintained no issues so far (internal network only, not web facing).

    Maybe try to explain the struggles you have had, since to my knowledge the posted options are the best and simplest once out there.

    Radicale and Baikal are the most popular ones, but I wanted to share a few lesser known ones:

    • Etesync
    • Stalwart*

    *Yes, Stalwart is a full blown Email+Calendar solution, but it requires 1 Core & 100 mb of RAM. And you get both CalDav & the newer & superior JMAP protocol. It’s backed by NLNET NGIO and it has a proven track record.

    I use Baïkal for card and cal and Apache for webDAV, they provide all the features I need and were easy enough to set up, never tried alternatives.

    might be a bit heavy for this, but ive been having fun with nextcloud… its caldav based, i think. ive got it syncin with outlook calendars and the mobile client seems to throw shit in my face as needed

      I am the middle of struggling to backup my calendars from nextcloud after my GPU failed. Nextcloud in docker containers is terrible for any sort of recovery. They’re not even broke, you just can’t run them with a GPU setup, remove the GPU, and then expect them to still be able to run.

        it kinda sounds like you failed to back them up and are attempting to restore them from a non-backup.

        and yeah, pulling an integral, configured component and expecting it to just run fine seems kinda… psychotic.

    For Android, you can use any of those on your server and DAVx5 on the phone. That makes it accessible to any calendar and contacts app systemwide. Some apps may also be able to connect directly, such as Etar.

      Doesn’t Etar use DAVx⁵? I would love direct synchronization but I don’t see a way to connect directly.

    For an unbelievably simple WebDAV server, you may want to look into copyparty.

    It depends on your needs, as it is not as full featured as some options out there, but it’s one Python file that you can just download and open. Boom. Fileserver.

    I use Radicale as a Docker container and it runs fine, with no maintenance apart from upgrading the image once in a while.
