Hi,

Probably the closest thing to setup documentation that exists for 
CalendarServer are the Docker integrations contributed in PRs 513 
<https://github.com/apple/ccs-calendarserver/pull/513> and 489 
<https://github.com/apple/ccs-calendarserver/pull/489> (neither are merged so 
far; see following paragraph):

https://github.com/apple/ccs-calendarserver/pull/513/files

Depending on the scope and nature of your new projects, I would advise 
somewhere between "some caution" and "an abundance of caution" as you consider 
whether to use CalendarServer. On the plus side, the test coverage is good 
(both unit tests and integration tests) and the existing features are pretty 
stable. On the not-as-plus side, have a look at the code frequency graph 
<https://github.com/apple/ccs-calendarserver/graphs/code-frequency> while 
ruminating on the fact that this project uses Python 2.7, the support lifetime 
<https://pythonclock.org/> for which ends in just over one year. The bulk of 
the dependent modules (i.e. Twisted) are safe on 3 at this point, however an 
unknown amount of work remains to get CalendarServer safe for 3. Someone gave 
this a quick shot which is detailed in this PR: 
https://github.com/apple/ccs-calendarserver/pull/501 - I don't know if this 
produces a functional service, but I do know that the tests don't pass.

A slightly expanded version of this information: 
https://github.com/apple/ccs-calendarserver/issues/488
