Davis

Davis is a feature-rich DAV server and web administration interface built on sabre/dav. It provides CalDAV and CardDAV services (and optional WebDAV) along with a modern, responsive dashboard for managing users, calendars, and address books.

Key Features

• CalDAV, CardDAV, and optional WebDAV support via sabre/dav
• Web admin dashboard for user management, calendar and address book creation, and sharing
• Public calendars accessible via an unguessable link (when enabled)
• Automatic birthday calendar generated from contact birthdates
• Multiple authentication methods: HTTP Basic, IMAP, or LDAP (via external providers)
• Container-friendly deployment with Docker images and sample docker-compose setup

Use Cases

• Self-hosted calendar and contacts server for personal, family, or small-team use
• Replace or modernize legacy Baïkal-style DAV setups with a maintained admin UI
• Provide shared calendars (including scheduling/invites, depending on client support)

Limitations and Considerations

• Some features depend on DAV client capabilities (for example scheduling, notifications, subscriptions)
• PostgreSQL and SQLite are supported but noted as less extensively tested than MySQL/MariaDB

Davis is well-suited for operators who want a standards-based CalDAV/CardDAV server with an approachable administration experience. It combines a modern Symfony application with sabre/dav to deliver a practical, maintainable groupware foundation.
