ownCloud is an open source cloud software suite for remote access of calendar, address and file data.

Setup

The ownCloud calendar and address book URLs changed recently. Afaik the values below are true for the latest (beta) release.

CalDAV-Sync

enter manual mode

• URL: http://<servername>/cloud/apps/calendar/caldav.php/calendars/ (use https if you want to use SSL)
• Username: your login name
• Password: your password

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

CardDAV-Sync

enter manual mode

• URL: http://<servername>/cloud/apps/contacts/carddav.php/addressbooks/<login>/default/ (use https if you want to use SSL)
• Username: your login name
• Password: your password

Note: The /cloud/ part depends on your setup. If it doesn't work try /owncloud/ (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.

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!
