Topic: SFOS and Owncloud from v8.2.x - Syncronisation of Calendar, Addressbook, Tasks and Notes

Hello everybody,

with this post I would like to ask you for helping me out on the Owncloud and Sailfish OS DAV synchronization issue.

Software:

• Owncloud with 8.2.x (self signed certificate; https)
• MySQL
• Apache2
• PHP5
• Sailfish OS v2.0.1.7 (and maybe later)

What does work:

• Owncloud Items can be synced with Windows, Android and Linux (Kontact)
• Owncloud (beta) client from Jolla Shop is able to sync files from and to the phone (But only one by one!)
• The identification process (login) from Phone into the Owncloud server is working fine.
• The calendar view where you can select the calendars is showing the owncloud calendars
• A newly created Calendar Item gets synced to the Owncloud if I choose the Owncloud Calendar (this worked only once)

What does not work:

• Syncing Calendar Addressbook Task and Notes
  • Syncing calendar items which have been created on the phone (new once nor old once) syncing a item worked only once and this was a newly created item.
  • Deleting a calendar on Owncloud does not delete it on the phone. Calendar stays visible in Calendar chooser
  • Calendars from Owncloud are visible; the calendar entries from owncloud calendar are not visible on the phone
  • Addressbook does not show anything working at all. No addresses move to or from the phone
  • Tasks are showing the same behavior and I also did not found a option in order to sync them on the phone
  • Notes; the application OwnNotes is not anymore developed and the install package have been removed from openrepros
  • Carddav logs could not be created, seems that Carddav is not working at all

Additional Information: - Syncing with SyncEvolution installed from OpenRepros does have problems on the Verification with the Owncloud Server.

What has been done by me:

• I have so far I can say did I read all information on this topic I tried several hours to figure out a working solution. This has been done by using the given gui's.
• I have looked for a consistent step by step description on the topic but could only find a view (2 or 3 maybe) which where related to older Sailfish OS Versions and older Owncloud versions mostly using a different DB. All of this manuals did not help me having a working synchronization.
• Logs have been created for Caldav and sent over to jolla for further investigation

What has not been done yet by me:

• I have not yet tried to get it working on the console via ssh on the phone.

What are my expectations:

• Getting a working solution
• Having a step by step documentation for everyone

I would like to get or even create together a working solution. Which means in my opinion having a good documented step by step description which will enable everybody with the newest updates installed to sync at least Calendar, Addressbooks and then additional Tasks and Notes.

If there is as I figured until now no working solution then please lets create one. Actually I wonder a little bit why this is not already properly implemented in the Sailfish OS (But this is not the matter of this post!)

Myself I would not call me a developer but I'm a handy with software and I have wrote before some lines of code but not that much. I guess that I see myself more as a tester and or coordinator with this topic.

As if you feel yourself a need or if you feel you want to help with this topic please support me and drop your houghts (related to the topic) here.

I hope we will get to a solution really quick as this is already that long a topic and seems to have no obvious and easy solution.

Thank you in advanced to all of you willing to help.

I'm looking forward to your input.

Kind regards,

megalith
