About Baïkal
Baïkal is a small CalDAV and CardDAV server built on sabre/dav. It includes a web interface for managing users, address books and calendars, and needs only a basic PHP server, with data stored in MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite.
Calendars and contacts sync to iOS, macOS, DAVx5 on Android, Thunderbird and any other CalDAV or CardDAV client. It suits people who want to keep calendars and contacts off Google or Apple servers without running a full groupware suite.
