Agreed, I will need to install an app on the phone.

I'd be trying to connect it to whatever server your Outlook client connects to. Otherwise you'd be looking at your own server, but that server would still need to connect to wherever your calendar is hosted.

The calendar is not "hosted", it is a local .pst file on windows. I expect to need to install an outlook plugin
to allow it to sync with the same server, which I want to install on my linux server.
