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.

What did you have problems with concerning Baïkal?

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

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.

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

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

havent really messed with the contact stuff though
