Deploy Baikal in one click installation.
Lightweight self-hosted CalDAV and CardDAV server for syncing calendars, tasks, and contacts across every device.
What you can build with Baikal
Baikal is a lightweight, self-hosted CalDAV and CardDAV server built on top of the well-known sabre/dav PHP library. It provides a private home for calendars, events, tasks, and contacts that synchronize to iOS, macOS, Android, Thunderbird, Outlook, and any other client that speaks the standard CalDAV and CardDAV protocols.
Self-hosting Baikal on your own VPS keeps personal and team scheduling data inside your infrastructure instead of a third-party calendar service. The footprint is intentionally small — a single PHP container backed by SQLite or MySQL — so it fits comfortably on a small VPS while still supporting multiple users, shared address books, and granular access control through the built-in admin UI.
Key features of Baikal
CalDAV and CardDAV
Standards-compliant calendar and contact sync with iOS, macOS, Android, Thunderbird, Outlook, DAVx5, and any other CalDAV/CardDAV client.
Multi-user accounts
Create separate user accounts with their own calendars, tasks, and address books, all managed from a single admin web UI.
Shared collections
Share specific calendars or address books with other users on the same instance for team scheduling and contact sync.
Lightweight footprint
A single PHP container running sabre/dav on SQLite or MySQL — small enough to run alongside other self-hosted services on a modest VPS.
Admin web UI
Manage users, calendars, address books, and core server settings from a built-in browser-based dashboard rather than editing config files.
Tasks and events
Stores VTODO tasks alongside events so to-do lists and project trackers from clients like Thunderbird Lightning sync seamlessly.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
