Baïkal is a lightweight, self-hosted CalDAV and CardDAV server built on sabre/dav for PHP. It provides a web admin interface for managing users, calendars, and address books, with data stored in MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite.

Use cases

• self-host my calendars and contacts
• sync calendar with iPhone and Android via CalDAV
• host a CardDAV address book server
• replace Google Calendar with a private server
• share calendars across Thunderbird and mobile devices
• run a lightweight DAV server on a Raspberry Pi

When to choose

• you want a simple, lightweight CalDAV/CardDAV server with a web admin UI
• you want to self-host contacts and calendars for privacy
• you only have a basic PHP-capable server with MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite
• you need compatibility with iOS, macOS, Android (DAVx5), and Thunderbird

When to avoid

• you need full groupware features like email or file sharing (use Nextcloud or Radicale alternatives)
• you don't want to run a PHP web server
• you need an officially supported Docker image (only community images exist)
• you need a managed/hosted solution
