Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

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.
This is good, I use Mailcow Dockerized and it uses 10% of one 3.7GHz core, but 2GB of RAM. Stalwart definitely seems better for low memory hosts. Seems to have one instance of rspamd for each mailbox, they and ofelia are the biggest users of RAM according to top
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.
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.
Same. It's pretty much my best behaved container.
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
I have used without alot of maintenance or struggles mailcow-dockerized to do the Cal/Card DAV, idk maybe try that
I think you got a downvote for promoting mailcow, users can be fickle
Looking for a simple card/cal/WebDAV server that runs in docker.
Or maybe just because there is nothing simple in hosting a mail server for having card and caldav.
