KaraDAV - A lightweight WebDAV server, compatible with ownCloud and NextCloud clients

Donate to this project

This is a simple and lightweight WebDAV server, allowing to easily set up a file sharing server compatible with WebDAV and NextCloud clients. It has no dependencies and good performance.

It is written in PHP (8+). The only dependency is SQLite3 for the database.

Its original purpose was to serve as a demo and test for the KD2 WebDAV library, which we developed for Paheko, our non-profit management solution, but it can also be used as a simple but powerful file sharing server.

If you are looking for an even lighter WebDAV server, try also our other server, PicoDAV. It isn't compatible with NextCloud/ownCloud/OpenCloud clients, but it is a single file that you can drop anywhere in your document root, nothing to install!
