What is Xandikos?
Xandikos is a free open-source self-hosted CalDav and CardDav server that uses Git as a backend.
It has been tested on a dozen of CalDav, and CardDav as well as vCard clients, which you will find in this post.
Xandikos comes with a rich documentation for end-users, system admins, and developers, in which users can find instructions about how to configure it, and their local clients.
Why the name "Xandikos"!
Xandikos (Ξανδικός or Ξανθικός) takes its name from the name of the March month in the ancient Macedonian calendar, used in Macedon in the first millennium BC.
