Cadavres, carddav and librem 5?

Hardware Librem 5
1

Hi there,

First, sorry, I am french :stuck_out_tongue:

So.
The librem 5 is interesting me for all the reasons I have found on this site.
But, I did not read how sync could be done. Caldav and carddav syncs with my nextcloud instance should be done easily.
Are they ?
If not, when could they be ?

Thanks !

yes L5 stack will use EDS exactly for that reason - EDS natively supports ca*dav and will bring remote contacts and calendars. Gnome apps like geary, contacts and calendars are using GOA as identity provider (support nextcloud) and EDS as data provider (supports webdav transport). So fear not for that’s already been thought of.

You are lucky - Nextcloud is officially supported as @ruff said. Unfortunately other CalDAV and CardDAV providers not directly / there is no way to add them in system settings. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-online-accounts/-/issues/1 (#1 issue of GNOME Online Accounts :smiley: )

You can still install evolution and add custom cadavres manually, gnome cal happily sees all cals on EDS.

Yes, you are right. But that only works for now. If we speak about mobile GNOME like for the Librem 5, I doubt that anyone would want to do it like that. Personally I don’t want to use Evolution anymore. I’m waiting for Geary supporting Inline PGP and S/MIME and then I never have to install it again. :smile:

Why? As a forced outlook user I find evolution quite handy :slight_smile:

It is okay, of course better than Outlook :smiley: But way too heavy in my opinion. Had an issue which sometimes led to unrealiable mail sending in the past, too. I just want to use Gnome Calender and Contacts (preinstalled) and an application which is only for sending mails. But I configured my mail provider to encrypt all incoming and sent mails with my public PGP key so I’m stuck with Evolution at the moment for these two issues…

I see that gnome-calendar has libhandy in its source code, so it may work on the L5. Try:
sudo apt install gnome-calendar

Last time I checked, GNOME calendar doesn’t scale very well:

Reminduck and OpenToDoList integrate a calendar that seems to work fairly well.

Making GNOME calendar adaptive is a WIP, see: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/670 Unfortunately not much talk over there. I think the main dev is quite busy.

CalDAV and CardDAV so far work with Evolution: Install Evolution, add the resources there and you can uninstall it again. They are kept anyhow, so Contacts should show them and yeah - calendar is WIP. It would work there too but not adaptive so far.
