Saber/Dav which is a core component of Baikal is looking for maintainer (full story here)

It’s been some time now that I moved from Google Calendar service to self-hosted, open source solution.

I never notice any down sides with accessibility – maybe my need were simple enough 🙂

 

I’m not saying that Baikal is dead, if your are interested in Baikal fell free to lookup those posts (installation, updating)

 

As for me I started noticing one minor issue I had with Baikal, that is complicated calendar sharing setup – it IS possible to share calendars but its more complicated than it should be, it was announce that sharing will be added later after big code rewrite and I waited (because I wouldn’t even be able to contribute to php7.0+silex anyway), but here I found new solution… Radicale, it also don’t support sharing calendars via web-panel, but for me it got one BIG advanted in sharing zone, user rights, and with one little ACL list I was able to share whatever I wanted.

None of both solution support migration tools for this process so It was a bit of pain (as for now I wasn’t able to find too that would migrate my ‘Tasks’ from calendar, but I never used it as much and migration was done by hand with me clicking 2 buttons on each of 20 tasks I had left)

 

If you are interested, here are links related to process of installing, configure and migrate data from one solution to other:
