Robust Calendar Service Deployment with Baikal / SabreDAV in 10 Minutes

Baikal / SabreDAV robust calendar and address book server with scheduling and email notifications.

Calendar services are an organization's lifeblood next to email. This guide shows how to ready and deploy a robust, enterprise-class calendar service compliant with all vendor and Internet calendaring, scheduling, and messaging standards -- enable CalDAV and CardDAV for OS X, iOS, Android, Windows, and Linux calendar clients in 10 minutes or less. It leverages the power of Baïkal/SabreDAV, Postfix, Docker, and Linux.

About this implementation

• This is a complete deployment set up, ready for production systems
• There are lots of Baïkal and other calendar server images out there, but all the ones tested in preparing this deployment were missing important features like scheduling, message delivery, etc.
• It works with the latest stable SabreDAV/Baïkal versions
• iOS, OS X, Android, Thunderbird Lightning, and Windows calendar, tasks, and address book clients work well with this set up
• It supports full scheduling and messaging to event participants and resources across any calendaring service (Baïkal to Google Calendar or Exchange)

Implementation
