\section{Overview}

|
I need something to sync contacts for clients. Nextcloud has that option. Let's try it out.

\section{Work Log}
|
|
I had trouble finding a nextcloud that was managed for under \$25 month. I did find one, finally (open it store).
|
|
|
|
They installed everything. I didn't use my own domain name, but no big deal.
|
|
|
|
I downloaded nextcloud for my 4.5 android, and it works. Now to try contact sync.
|
|
|
|
Once you open the nextcloud app, there is a way to sync contacts. Requires davx5. So I got that. It brought me to the login page, and I tried logging in, but it failed. It may have been a bad password. I tried again using the URL
|
|
https://my.domain.com/remote.php/dav/
|
|
replacing my.domain with my URL, and it worked. I think the first time, I just had the password wrong.
|
|
|
|
After that, davx5 loads up. There is a carddav option. It takes 2-3 minutes to load (you'll see a spinning animation). After that, you can click a checkbox for contacts, then click the 'sync' button. Then wait.
|
|
|
|
It will pop up a window for sync settings. I set contacts to sync once a day, and only on wifi. Unfortunately, I don't see any contacts in nc.
|
|
|
|
What I ended up doing was instead of davdroid, which doesn't seem to work, I did nc's option to 'backup contacts' just below it. This sounds like a manual update, but it does mention that it has an automatic backup option. So I'll have to confirm that it actually automatically backs them up later.
|
|
|
|
So I downloaded the vcf from the nc instance, and I have contacts. OK.
