I just got carddav support to work with Jolla. It's a bit of hacky thing but it works right now ;)

set $request_url $request_uri;
    if ($request_uri ~ /owncloud/remote\.php/carddav///owncloud/remote\.php/carddav/(.*)$) {
            set $request_url /owncloud/remote.php/carddav/$1;
    }

   if ($request_uri ~ /owncloud/remote\.php/carddav/principals/(.*)/owncloud/remote\.php/carddav/addressbooks(.*)$) {
                set $request_url /owncloud/remote.php/carddav/addressbooks$2;
        }
           location ~ /owncloud/remote\.php/carddav/principals/(.*)/owncloud/remote\.php/carddav/addressbooks(.*)$ {
                rewrite ^/owncloud/remote\.php/carddav/principals/(.*)/owncloud/remote\.php/carddav/addressbooks(.*)$ /owncloud/remote.php/carddav/addressbooks$2 last;
        }

    location  ~ /owncloud/remote\.php/carddav///owncloud/remote\.php/carddav/(.*)$ {
            rewrite ^/owncloud/remote\.php/carddav///owncloud/remote\.php/carddav/(.*)$ /owncloud/remote.php/carddav/principals$1 last;
    }

    location ~ ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)?$ {
            try_files $1 = 404;

            include fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_url;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$1;
            fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $2;
            fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9025;
    }

The solution was to rewrite Jollas requests to the right format on nginx level. Added another rule so you can configure https://myserver.com/owncloud/remote.php/carddav/ to your Jolla.

CalDAV is working fine (so far) with OwnCloud 7.0.2 on Sailfish 1.1.0.39, I got all my calendars to sync.

CalDAV with OwnCloud (works for me)

user: username
pass: password
server address: https://your.cloud.tld
calendar path: /remote.php/caldav/calendars/[username]
de-select CardDAV

CardDAV?

Unfortunately, when I tried the same for CardDAV (on a separate account) I never got any results. I tried entering many combinations of server addresses, with port/path but for some reason I never even get any requests to show up in the OwnCloud server logs. In the phone logs it says "CardDAV sync failed: 401" ... but that's not something I can find anywhere in my owncloud servers log.

CardDAV Sync Logs

You can watch the sync process on the Jolla as described in this post but I had to change the command that starts msyncd. So here is what I did (via SSH on the phone):

systemctl --user stop msyncd
devel-su killall msyncd
MSYNCD_LOGGING_LEVEL=9 devel-su --privileged msyncd

and then in another terminal:

devel-su journalctl -a -f | grep carddav

The journal of the Jolla for one of the sync attempts with carddav is as follows (url redacted)

CalDav (Calendar) work! CardDAV can connecting but no sync! :(

CalDav

• Username = username
• Password = password
• Serveradress: https://myserver.de:PORT
• Calendar path: /owncloud/remote.php/caldav/calendars/-username-/defaultcalendar

CardDav

• Username = username
• Password = password
• Serveradress: https://myserver.de:PORT
• Server path: /owncloud/remote.php/carddav/addressbooks/-username-/kontakte

"kontakte" is by me, because i use it in german lang. in english you use "contacs"

I wrote a patch that results in one successful CardDav sync with owncloud. A guide, the patch (and a RPM) is available here: https://github.com/nemomobile/buteo-sync-plugin-carddav/pull/5

Unfortunately, further syncs fail so far but at least I get my current contacts. I will look into this.

Just wanted to update this four months old thread with the following Info.

(I hope it's helpfull for those people who got problems setting up a caldav/carddav account like me...)

caldav & carddav works for me with the following set-up: (except the caldav bug as stated here: https://together.jolla.com/question/60486/all-dates-shifted-by-one-hour-in-calendar-after-updating-to-11038/)

Testing Environment:

• Sailfish OS 1.1.6.27
• owncloud 8.1.1 (with self-signed certificate)

owncloud setup:

http -> https fix after upgrade from oc7 to oc8 (forcessl=true was removed from config file)

add this at the top of the .htaccess file in the owncloud web directory: (Please note that the following code should be used if the owncloud installation is under "/owncloud". If you set-up owncloud in the webroot directory, remove the "/owncloud".)

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
#rewrites owncloud http request to https
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/owncloud/$1 [R,L]
</IfModule>

Jolla certificate import:

Steps to import a self-signed certificate:

1.create a hash from your self-signed certificate:

$ openssl x509 -in {your_certificate}.crt -noout -hash

2.copy your self-signed certificate into the trusted certs folder

$ cp {path_to_your_certificate}/{your_certificate}.crt /etc/pki/tls/certs/

3.create a link inside the same directory to your self-signed certificate with the previously generated hash:

$ ln -s {your_certificate}.crt {your_certificate_hash}.0

4.now you are ready to connect to owncloud without activating the "Ignore SSL errors" button

Jolla caldav/carddav setup:

Account Settings: (Please note that the following links should be used if the owncloud installation is under "/owncloud". If you set-up owncloud in the webroot directory, remove the "/owncloud".)

• Username: {owncloud_username}
• Password: {owncloud_password}
• Server address: https://example.com/owncloud/remote.php/carddav/addressbooks/{owncloud_username}
• Calendar path: /owncloud/remote.php/caldav/calendars/{owncloud_username}

[edit 2015-08-26]

Carddav doesn't automatically start the sync process after triggering the contact sync. The sync only starts if I manually start it from the account settings.

Jolla [1232]: [W] CDExporterController::onSyncTimeout:1067 - CDExport: triggering contacts sync "carddav"

(caldav syncs is not affected, it has it's own timeout setting which operates normally)

For me CalDav is working with OwnCloud. I've written the whole path into the field Serveradress and left the calendar path free. I'm just using http (I'm just using owncloud at home in my own network)

I stated in two threads allready (moderators: help!) and this will be the main thread for me https://together.jolla.com/question/59893/wiki-11038-first-hiccups/

• For carddav I needed to write the full url into the server address section and nothing into the server path section (and caldav switched off). The server path seems to be ignored (someone mentioned it in some ot the other Carddav threads)
• then (and only then) I can see connections from my device to my owncloud server. It fetches the address list and tries to connect to the principals-url but creates a double server path entry owncloud/remote.php/carddav/principals/blaablaa//owncloud/principals/blaablaa which creates a 404 on the owncloud server.

Maybe it would work if you try to redirect the double url path to a single one on the server's apache/lighty/nginx/whatever if you are brave enough

Hi! I've got a Jolla phone since 1 week and I updated to 1.1.1.27. With Openmailbox service, I can set my caldav acount with:

USER: PASS: SERV: https://cloud.openmailbox.org PATH: /remote.php/caldav/calendars/user@openmailbox.org/calendarname

At the moment I can't sync the carddav account

Unfortunately, self-signed certificates are always a bit troublesome. Also those shady buttons to accept them labelled "ignore SSL errors" and "trust all certificates" personally made me a bit uncomfortable. That is why I gave in, got myself a signed certificate (they retail starting at $9/year, so it is not that much money) and all my issues went away. Honestly, I can only recommend that.

I should add, that OC7.2 w/ contacts and calendar sync works for me (w/ the Nginx workaround discussed above) on the Jolla w/o SyncEvolution.
