docker-baikal-infcloud

Dockerized
lighttpd
php7 + sqlite3 and mysql support
baikal 0.5.2
infcloud 0.1.13
Alpine Linux 3.9
targets NAS

Why?

self-hosted on synology NAS: Synology does not provide an out-of-box solution. There is the CardDAV Servr, the WebDAV Server. now even a Calendar Service with integrated web frontend (but without adressbook). The cons: many spreaded packages and services, with rather old dependencies. You cannot set seperate user/credentials for the DAV access which is not soa from a security standpoint as 2fa are not possible and simple basic auth mechanisms may leak.
Alternatives like owncloud/nextcloud or other colaboration suites are too much for this simple usecase
Using baikal for several years without any bigger issues makes it pretty robust for family or internal small company/team management.
You do not need email or other shared services
Widely supported clients, unfortunetly not natively with Android.
create backups of calendar and contact data
Syncs well with Windows, MacOS, Android and iOS

I use this setup for personal management with the family. As we used it for several years, this project is supporting my migration from a DS213j to DS718+ with Docker. Still not that easy to convince everybody to use cloud ☁︎ services 🤷🏻‍.

Build and Run

Build docker image

To build the Docker image just call

make

You can provide additional arguments to the docker command like

make args=--no-cache

to export the image as a tarball:

make export

See Makefile for more information.

Run

With sqlite

First build the image. Then call

make run

And point your Browser http://localhost:8800/baikal/html/admin/ to configure baikal.

To start the container detached (background) exec

make run args="--restart always --detach"

With mysql

To start baikal with mariadb (mysql) backend you can use the provided docker-compose file.

You need docker, docker-compose installed. The path ./baikal/db must be writable.

docker-compose up

Note:

You can use env-vars for the mysql setup, see ./docker-compose.yml file.

Visit http://localhost:8800/baikal/html/admin/ to configure baikal.

Timezone

You can change the timezone of the container on build-time via the docker build --build-arg TIMEZONE=Europe/Berlin ... command-line option or set the timezone in the Makefile

Default config

HTTP port: 8800
no mail support
Cal/CardDAV URL: http://localhost:8800/baikal/html/dav.php/principals/
Infcloud: http://localhost:8800/infcloud/
Timezone: Europe/Berlin

Autodiscovery

You can support easy mail-style ([email protected]) setup by with configuring service discovery features as described. here.

The docker container contains these redirects setup already.

HTTPs / SSL / TLS

The current setup does not support https directly and suppose an existing reverse proxy (e.g. https://traefik.io)

Related projects

There are some other projects related to this topic, but I couldnt find one using latest Alpine with php7 and a small httpd having a small footprint eventually running it with sqlite.

https://gitlab.com/Plague_Doctor/docker-baikal/

Did not support php7 when I created this project and uses nginx instead of lighttpd. Unfortunately I did not find it on my research beforehand. The image is published on docker hub, which may be important for others
https://github.com/bambocher/docker-baikal

Uses older baikal version with php5 and without infcloud
https://github.com/maschel/docker-baikal

Did not work for me (uses php7 with Version 0.4.6 of Baikal which had problems creating calendars for me). Does not incorporate InfCloud
https://github.com/ckulka/baikal-docker

As the project before. Supports builds for different archs and nginx/apache. I planned to incorporate infcloud with the image, which it doesn't and build an own image running the service with non-root privileges.

Synology

Look here for setup instructions on a Synology NAS.

Support php7

See branch chore/support-php7 for the current status. I currently got an error when adding new calenders for users to baikal:

PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1 table calendars has no column named principaluri in /var/www/baikal/Core/Frameworks/Flake/Core/Database.php:180

#10 {main}

The column principaluri of table calendars is missing in the database. See

Same problem arises with mysql (see docker-compose.yml - you need to uncomment mysql service).
Adding adressbooks is fine, users are added as well...

maybe you have an Idea?
