Is this project still supported? about baikal

[rwjack]

Works for me, so this seems to be an issue you're having, also I wouldn't call it quite dead, the last release was a couple of months ago.

Well, I'm REALLY glad to hear that. For the life of me I can't figure out why this won't connect to my new VPS. I will try it with my Linode server.

[acanton77]

Well, I installed it on my Linode server and it worked fine.

I then re-installed it on my large production server on Pair Networks.. and it worked fine!!

It looks like something got corrupted when I moved Baikal from a previous Pair (shared) server to the new VPS.

So now I have three backups... the iCloud (standard 'master) and two Baikal backups. They all sync well together using the BusyContacts front-end CARD-DAV client.

Why two Baikals? Seems like wasteful use of processing power, especially because the chances of your VPS going down are practically 0.

I would just replicate the docker volume of one, onto the second server, if the 3-2-1 backup strategy is what I was looking for.

[acanton77]

I have no idea how to use docker. The amount of processing time on both of my servers is negligible. I only pay $5 a month for the shared Linode VPS and $$39 for the managed VPS with Pair.com and so I may as well use them both! But you are right... it probably overkill since all the data is also on iCloud (which I don't trust!!!) Thanks.

This works really great.
Just had a new setup on a Debian server.

[acanton77]

Yes, it really does work well, once you get it working! My only 'issue' is that when I add a new card to the front-end (BusyContacts on iMac) it does add to iCloud.... but the card is not added to the Baikal database just like an 'update.' (Maybe this is a problem with the BusyContacts client? Maybe Apple's Contacts client would do an 'add' for a new card? (I don't use Apple Contacts as it is fairly lame compared to BusyContacts... and a history of being buggy.)

[rwjack]

I had to configure the default service onto which to save contacts on my iPhone - had to change from iCloud to my CardDav (baikal) instance.

Baikal is in Maintenance mode. We keep it working on recent php versions but do not develop new features. If someone creates a PR with a new feature, I'm happy to review though.
