Hello! I am migrating some services from an old cloud instance to my homelab. The cloud instance was running NextCloud and as I don’t really need the entirety of NextCloud, I’m moving to individual services. It’s now time for me to move the most important thing from this NextCloud instance: my calendars and contacts.
I’m looking for a good containerized service to run this. I’ve taken a look at both Baikal and Davis, but both seem to have issues running rootless. As I have Kerberos throughout my network and am storing the persistent volumes on an NFS share, I prefer to run all my containers under dedicated service accounts. This also means that I would like the DAV server to have LDAP or IMAP authentication. I am also using podman quadlets rather than docker compose, but I can figure out the translation on my own. Worst case scenario here is I just run Davis and talk to the dev about the issues I have (which will probably be done anyways), but I’d like to get something up and running sooner rather than later. Any solutions would be greatly helpful. If there isn’t a good containerized solution, I’m also willing to make an LXC or VM but I’d prefer to stick to containers. Thank you!
I am currently running baikal using podman, quadlets, rootless mode. What kind of issue did you have?
That said, although baikal does get the job done, I am actually considering migrating to nextcloud just because of caldav/carddav, since it seems to be the most complete implementation out there.
It is worth taking a look at the features you need before fully migrating. As far as I can tell baikal may have some issues for some people with invitations, sharing calendars and sending email.
I’ve seen people recommend radicale, which probably works well, but from what I read is the least adherent to caldav/carddav protocols.
This is really helpful, thank you!
