ownCloud is an open source cloud software suite for remote access of calendar, address and file data. It uses a SabreDAV backend.

As of 2012-02-25 there are a number of known issues (bugs) in the SabreDAV version used by ownCloud. Please try to update the SabreDAV part of your ownCloud installation first if something doesn't work as expected. Most users reported success with SabreDAV version 1.5.8. SabreDAV version 1.6 has been reported "not working" with ownCloud 3. All known issues have been fixed in ownCloud 4. There is a new CalDAV issue with ownCloud 4, see below

Setup with ownCloud 4

In ownCloud 4 the CalDAV and CardDAV path names changed, once again. If you upgrade to ownCloud 4 you'll have to recreate the accounts in Android. You can find the correct CalDAV/CardDAV path names in settings -> personal. The path names below are just examples, please refer to your actual settings.

CalDAV-Sync

  • Server URL: <servername>/owncloud/remote.php/caldav/ (see Calendar in settings -> personal in your ownCloud account)
  • Use SSL: check accordingly
  • Username: your login name
  • Password: your password

CardDAV-Sync

  • Server URL: <servername>/owncloud/remote.php/carddav/ (see Contacts in settings -> personal in your ownCloud account)
  • Use SSL: check accordingly
  • Username: your login name
  • Password: your password


Setup with ownCloud 3

CalDAV-Sync

  • Server URL: <servername>/owncloud/apps/calendar/caldav.php/calendars/
  • Use SSL: check accordingly
  • Username: your login name
  • Password: your password

Note: The /owncloud/ part depends on your setup. If it doesn't work try /cloud/ (or whatever your ownCloud root is) instead.

CardDAV-Sync

  • Server URL: <servername>/owncloud/apps/contacts/carddav.php/addressbooks/
  • Use SSL: check accordingly
  • Username: your login name
  • Password: your password

Note: The /owncloud/ part depends on your setup. If it doesn't work try /cloud/ (or whatever your ownCloud root is) instead.

known issues

CalDAV

There is a known bug in SabreDAV (which is used by ownCloud): If your calendar contains events with certain time zone IDs that are not recognized by SabreDAV then the server returns an "internal server error" instead of a proper response to the calendar query. Currently your only option is to find those events and delete them (or change the time zone id). Please note that many desktop clients like Thunderbird Lightning and Evolution do not use "calendar query" and thus still work with ownCloud in that case. Please see [1] there is a patch linked that is reported to fix this issue. This has been fixed in ownCloud 4.

If some recurring events are missing on your phone see: [2]. Alternatively update SabreDAV in your ownCloud installation to the most recent SabreDAV release. This has been fixed in ownCloud 4 (it uses a more recent SabreDAV release).

ownCloud 4
There is a new issue with ownCloud 4. Please see TRIGGER:PT0S throws exception It's actually a bug in the SabreDAV version used by ownCloud 4. One of the comments contains a fix.

Syncing with ownCloud 4.0.4 seem to be completely broken. I got several reports of issues like this one: http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/owncloud/2012-July/004263.html here are the bug reports that seem to cover this issue oc-1199 and oc1247.

CardDAV

During my tests I noticed, that ownCloud seems to populate the vcard file with the FN (formatted name) field only and omits the N (structured name) field. On some phones this may result in improperly displayed names. Please report! This seems to be fixed in ownCloud 4

There is a report for this bug at bugs.owncloud.org: http://bugs.owncloud.org/thebuggenie/owncloud/issues/oc-8 This seems to be fixed in ownCloud 4
