# DAV Server A self-hosted **CalDAV**, **CardDAV**, and **WebDAV** server written in Go. ## Features | Protocol | Use case | |----------|----------| | CalDAV | Calendars — sync with Apple Calendar, Thunderbird, GNOME Calendar, … | | CardDAV | Contacts — sync with Apple Contacts, GNOME Contacts, … | | WebDAV | General file access via Finder, Windows Explorer, Nautilus, … | - HTTP Basic Auth with **bcrypt** password storage - Per-user isolated collections - Auto-discovery via `/.well-known/caldav` and `/.well-known/carddav` - Optional **TLS** (or use a reverse proxy) - Structured logging (text or JSON) - Graceful shutdown - Docker & Docker Compose support ## Quick start ### 1. Install dependencies ```bash go mod tidy ``` ### 2. Generate password hashes ```bash go run ./tools/hashpwd mysecretpassword # Outputs: $2b$12$... ``` ### 3. Create your `config.yaml` Copy the example config and edit it — `config.yaml` is git-ignored so your real credentials/domain never get committed: ```bash cp config.example.yaml config.yaml ``` Replace the placeholder hashes with your real bcrypt hashes: ```yaml users: alice: password: "$2b$12$" display_name: "Alice Smith" email: "alice@example.com" calendars: - personal - work address_books: - contacts ``` ### 4. Run the server ```bash make run # or go run ./cmd/server -config config.yaml ``` The server starts at **http://localhost:8080**. --- ## Docker ```bash # Build and start docker compose up --build # Or build manually docker build -t davserver . docker run -p 8080:8080 \ -v ./config.yaml:/app/config.yaml:ro \ -v dav-data:/app/data \ davserver ``` --- ## Client configuration ### Apple Calendar / Contacts (macOS / iOS) 1. Go to **Settings → Calendar → Accounts → Add Account → Other → Add CalDAV Account** 2. Enter: - **Server**: `http://yourserver:8080` - **Username**: `alice` - **Password**: your plaintext password 3. The app will auto-discover calendars at `/cal/`. Same flow for **CardDAV** with Contacts app. ### Thunderbird 1. Install the **TbSync** add-on + **CalDAV & CardDAV** provider 2. Add a new account and point it at `http://yourserver:8080/.well-known/caldav` ### GNOME Calendar / Evolution Use the GNOME Online Accounts panel: - **Server**: `http://yourserver:8080` - Check *CalDAV* / *CardDAV* as appropriate --- ## API endpoints | Path | Description | |------|-------------| | `/.well-known/caldav` | Redirects to `/cal/` | | `/.well-known/carddav` | Redirects to `/card/` | | `/cal/` | CalDAV principal (same URL for every user; resolved via Basic Auth) | | `/cal/home/` | Calendar home-set (lists the user's calendars) | | `/cal/home//` | Calendar collection | | `/card/` | CardDAV principal (same URL for every user; resolved via Basic Auth) | | `/card/home/` | Address book home-set (lists the user's address books) | | `/card/home//` | Address book collection | | `/files/` | WebDAV file storage (same URL for every user; resolved via Basic Auth) | | `/healthz` | Health check (unauthenticated) | > **Note:** the `home` segment is a fixed literal (not a username or real > resource) — it exists only to give the calendar/address-book home-set the > path depth that the underlying CalDAV/CardDAV library expects when > classifying resources by URL. Clients should never need to construct > these URLs by hand; they're discovered automatically via > `.well-known` + `current-user-principal` + `calendar-home-set` / > `addressbook-home-set` properties. --- ## TLS / Reverse proxy ### Self-signed certificate (development) ```bash openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365 -nodes ``` Update `config.yaml`: ```yaml tls: enabled: true cert_file: cert.pem key_file: key.pem ``` ### Caddy reverse proxy (recommended for production) ``` dav.example.com { reverse_proxy localhost:8080 } ``` --- ## Configuration reference ```yaml server: host: "0.0.0.0" port: 8080 base_url: "https://dav.example.com" # used in DAV responses auth: realm: "My DAV Server" storage: data_dir: "./data" # all user data lives here logging: level: "info" # debug | info | warn | error format: "text" # text | json tls: enabled: false cert_file: "" key_file: "" users: : password: "" display_name: "Full Name" email: "user@example.com" calendars: # pre-created calendar names - personal address_books: # pre-created address book names - contacts ``` --- ## Project layout ``` caldav-server/ ├── cmd/server/ # main entrypoint ├── internal/ │ ├── auth/ # HTTP Basic Auth middleware │ ├── caldav/ # CalDAV backend │ ├── carddav/ # CardDAV backend │ ├── config/ # YAML config loader │ ├── store/ # filesystem storage layer │ └── webdav/ # WebDAV file handler ├── tools/hashpwd/ # bcrypt password hasher CLI ├── config.example.yaml # sample configuration (copy to config.yaml) ├── Dockerfile ├── docker-compose.yaml └── Makefile ``` --- ## Running tests ```bash make test # or go test ./... -race ``` --- ## Dependencies | Package | Purpose | |---------|---------| | `github.com/emersion/go-webdav` | WebDAV/CalDAV/CardDAV protocol layer | | `github.com/emersion/go-ical` | iCalendar parsing/serialisation | | `github.com/emersion/go-vcard` | vCard parsing/serialisation | | `golang.org/x/crypto` | bcrypt | | `golang.org/x/net` | `golang.org/x/net/webdav` | | `gopkg.in/yaml.v3` | YAML config parsing |
