I've been looking for an iCal server to serve as a database for events. I agree with the author, this space is rather empty. Most of the projects out there have aged quite a bit and could use feature enhancements. (I.e. annoymous RSVPs, flexible notification perefences on a per user basis)

I was looking at bedework, however it doesn't deploy very easily. Now I'm looking at Radicale. It does have a docker container, but it's not well documented.

I found the Radicale documentation [1] sufficient for setup, and it really hasn't needed much in the way of maintenance. I also enabled the awesome Git integration so that every client-side contact/vCard change becomes a server-side git commit to my contacts repo. Now my birthday greeting script can just "git pull" to get the latest contact data.

Radicale is pretty stable. I’ve submitted a patch in the past and they integrated it pretty quick.
