[opensuse] Alternative to ownCloud Calendar and contacts
Hi all, I am looking to remove owncloud (as I do not actually use it apart from calendars and contacts). What is a good CalDAV / CardDAV server? My main requirement is the ability to share calendars between users. What suggestions are there? Thanks Paul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I was just having a play with Radicale and I cannot get my head around all of it. I have installed and configures SSL and users but when I browse to http://webserver:5232, I log in but I just get a blank screen. I cannot find any proper documentation on their website about how I can administer it. Unless of course I am doing it wrong?

SOGO seems like it might be suitable. I see that it works as a webmail client too which would be useful later when I actually work out how to set up postfix and dovecot. Do you have any useful information on how to set up sogo? My server has apache and mariadb on it already. thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Useful info - probably not :-) I remember the documentation being a little sketchy, and having to google quite a bit. I have yet to integrate SOGo with our central authentication and I don't have any outlook clients either.

I have installed SOGO. The documentation is rather lacking. I literally do not know what to do next haha. Currently trying to make out the documentation but it is not very well set out. The install instructions literally say how to install it. No mention of what to do afterwards. This is on a system where 5 people will be using it. Also using TB Android and iPhone so similar to your setup. How are you authenticating users on SOGO currently?

You have sogod running? You'll also need to get an apache vhost going. The user accesses apache, and apache proxies requests to SOGo. I'll be happy to share my apache config, off-line. Next you need to look at configuring your domains(s). This is in /etc/sogo/sogo.conf : domains = { example.com = { SOGoLanguage = "English"; SOGoTimeZone = "Europe/Zurich"; SOGoMailDomain = example.com; SOGoUserSources = ( { type = sql; id = elixseri; viewURL = "mysql://user:pwd@dbserver:3306/db_sogo/sogo_users3"; canAuthenticate = YES; userPasswordAlgorithm = crypt; isAddressBook = YES; displayName = "Elix Beauty AG"; prependPasswordScheme = YES; DomainFieldName = domain; } ); }; } sogo.conf has a whole load of other options: { SOGoProfileURL = "mysql://user:pwd@dbserver:3306/db_sogo/sogo_user_profile"; OCSFolderInfoURL = "mysql://user:pwd@dbserver:3306/db_sogo/sogo_folder_info"; OCSSessionsFolderURL = "mysql://user:pwd@dbserver:3306/db_sogo/sogo_sessions_folder"; SOGoAppointmentSendEMailNotifications = YES; SOGoCalendarDefaultRoles = ( PublicViewer, ConfidentialDAndTViewer ); SOGoPageTitle = "whatever you want to call it"; SOGoIMAPServer = imap.example.com; SOGoDraftsFolderName = Drafts; SOGoSentFolderName = Sent; SOGoTrashFolderName = Trash; SOGoMailingMechanism = smtp; SOGoSMTPServer = neon.local.net; SOGoEnablePublicAccess = yes; SOGoMemcachedHost = localhost; SOGoFirstDayOfWeek = 1; SOGoMailMessageCheck = every_minute; SOGoMailAuxiliaryUserAccountsEnabled = NO; // this let the user add another account under "Preferences"? SOGoCacheCleanupInterval = 60; WOWorkersCount = 20; SOGoVacationEnabled = YES; under "Preferences". SOGoForwardEnabled = NO; SOGoPasswordChangeEnabled = NO; // have to test if/how this works. SOGoSieveScriptsEnabled = YES; SOGoSieveServer = "sieve://sieve.example.com:4190"; SOGoMailCustomFromEnabled = YES; SOGoSieveScriptsEnabled = YES; // this enables a select domain menu on the login page ?? //SOGoLoginDomains = ( elixseri.com, example.com, opensuse.org ); //SOGoDomainsVisibility = ((elixseri.com, example.com, opensuse.org));
This is on a system where 5 people will be using it. Also using TB Android and iPhone so similar to your setup.
How are you authenticating users on SOGO currently?
See the viewURL setting in the domain definition above. For 5 people SOGo might appear to be slight overkill, but it actually works really well and only needs minimal fiddling.

It looks much simpler that sogo. I assume this is the same egroupware you mention https://github.com/EGroupware/egroupware/releases Do I literally just plonk the files into a new apache virtualhost and set up a new db for it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, that's it -- that's the beauty of it. You will need to following the setup and make sure you have your MySQL db setup with a username/pass so that apache can talk to it, and tweak the php.ini settings it lists, set your .htaccess and header.inc.php file in the egroupware directory, -- and you are done. Then it is just a matter of setting up users in eGroupware itself. It is pretty straight forward. Once you done, then for example on your phone or in Thunderbird Lightning, just point the calendar and contacts to: https://yourdomain.com/egroupware/groupdav.php/principals/users/you (change to fit your server and egroupware username instead of 'you') A huge benefit is ALL of your data is in simple MySQL tables, you can convert that to anything else you may need in the future - there is nothing closed source about it. OpenSuSE used to have an egroupware rpm you could install -- although I always just used the svn (before git) and git files. It was just as easy for me to put the files in the apache directory as it was to let rpm do it for me. I actually just use my main webserver -- I don't even create a separate virtual host for it. It just has its own directory, e.g. /srv/www/htdocs/egroupware_16. Then I create a symlink egroupware->egroupware_16 and configure apache to just use the egroupware package (that way if I am testing a new (or old) branch, I can just point the symlink to the new directory containing the new branch and fire it up) egroupware will automatically backup the MySQL tables on the schedule you tell it to. For work, I would do nightly backups, for home, weekly is fine. I haven't been as active on the egroupware list as I was in the past, I'm actually a version behind, it's just been one of those things that keeps silently and seamlessly working, so it doesn't require much in the way of maintenance :) -- David C.

So I have installed egroupware and logged in as my new user. A little confused though.
I am in the calendar page but I cannot see how to create multiple calendars? where can I do this?
Also How can I share said second calendar to another egroupware user?

Hmm this egroupware program seems very buggy. The calendar button keeps sometimes dissapearing. I am currently unable to even see calendars. I am also unable to edit or add groups. when logging in sometimes I get the header but no items in the menu to click. I am not sure this is a great solution, it is very bulky, buggy and slow. It takes sometimes 10 seconds for each page to load. All I want is a basic PHP / mysql based caldav / carddav server that will let me have multiple calendars and address books per user with the ability to share said calendars and address books to other users. Basically exactly what owncloud calendar and contacts does, just without owncloud. Is there such a thing out there? I mean, google calendar does it, icloud calendar does it... Surelty there is a simple open source solution? All suggestions welcome...

I don't know egroupware myself, but it's not exactly niche software - maybe an installation problem?

The owncloud calendar plug-in doesn't seem quite finished either? I mean, it looks good, but the website clearly says it's under development.

Hi Per, I have just been trying the live demo on the sogo website. It does everything I need! Multiple calendars and address books with sharing. Although as you say setting it up can be a bit daunting. Could you possibly give me some advice and guidance on setting it up? I have got as far as I have installed the sogo package. The server it will be running on already has apache and mariadb set up and configured. Server has a dual core 4 thread cpu, 4gb ddr3 RAM so if it runs on your pc then it will surely run fine on this.

Version dependent, you simply click the Add->Calendar Entry (at the top right of the menubar) from any entry and fill out the information, or if you are in the calendar app, simply click within any calendar day/time and a popup entry dialog will appear. -- David C.

I am looking to remove owncloud (as I do not actually use it apart from calendars and contacts).
What is a good CalDAV / CardDAV server? My main requirement is the ability to share calendars between users.
What suggestions are there?
Thanks
Paul
...nextcloud? sorry, couldn't resist. IMHO, owncloud et al is just fine, nextcloud has the "advance" that a lot of addon developers migrated from owncloud to nextcloud, the available addons are much better (in my personal opinion). but of course if carddav/caldav is really all you need then nextcloud's just as much overkill as owncloud.

Paul Why not just use owncloud/nextcloud for just that?

OK So a big thank you to Per for helping me get SoGo mostly running, I learnt a lot from it. Unfortunately I have decided to drop SoGo because it is completely lacking in descent documentation and is just taking too much time to get running properly. I have decided to take the majority recommendation and use NextCloud instead. I have managed to easily set this up in about 2 hours, due partly to my experience with owncloud but mostly due to the fantastic documentation on the Nextcloud website. So I have got as far as a functional and secured Nextcloud instance. Now for the tricky bit.. Is there a way of migrating calendars and contact lists from owncloud? Short of having to export them all in Thunderbird and importing on the NextCloud calendar screen. Which last time I did this when updating the old owncloud server, lots of the event metadata was missing and took me 3 hours to manually edit all the events and add it all back. To summarise: I am looking for the correct way to migrate calendars and address books to NextCloud from Owncloud.

FWIW, I have had a running system since mid-2015. I've upgraded once, the next one is overdue. The system serves myself, my family and two customers. Getting SOGOo to work with e.g. Outlook is a little tricky, but it works. I have a new customer getting to migrate about 40 people, we'll see how that goes.

Yes, I saw someone mention that the other day, it surprised me. For webmail, we settled on roundcube a few years back, it's been doing a good job.

Those speeds suck. Tell me about it. In the UK broadband is a joke. Most people i have seen have 6mbps down 400k up unless you pay over the odds for a crap fiber (but not really fiber) connection.
Now considering it is ADSL2+ I think my connection speed is quite good. But I need to get a decent fiber connection soon. I have never had an issue with reliability but I would rather like to host all the sites I work on myself. I have had a phone call from plusnet with the amazing offer of fiber internet from plusnet! but you don't actually get a fiber cable to the property. Same old dodgy aluminium phone cable. (So in other words they increase the capped bandwidth). Also they said it would be up to 80Mbps but i should expect 40. So then I asked what would the upload speed be? They said 1Mbps!!! So I asked how much.. £39.99 per month. Plus phone line rental. I just laughed and hung up. Now I have considered a hired hosting service but I would not trust the security to be honest. Much better to have your own physical server in my opinion. For those of you who fancy a chuckle at BT, here is my incredibly fascinating broadband history: When I first moved here the phone line was crackly. and only 8Mbps down 720k up. We used this for a year or so then I got fed up with it when I got my PS3. I replaced all the extension wiring in the house with STP cable (after the master socket). made no difference to the crackling on the phone. But broadband was now 12mbps down 800k up. then U bought a BT i plate. Back before they came built in. It is basically a few capacitors - a very basic filtering circuit. Then my broadband was 15Mbps down 1.1 Mbps up. But the phone line was still crackly. Then I spend on and off 2 months on the phone to BT who finally agreed to send an engineer out. He replaced the master socket and also found a dodgy join outside the property which in his opinion was not done by BT. But as it was like that when we moved in he cut off the cable and put in a nice 2 feet of shielded copper cable, soldered it onto the aluminium line nice and properly. Then he replaced the trunking and waterproofed it. After all this. No crackling at all. Deadly silence on the line when there is no dial tone. And now I am up to my current speed. so yeah.. that is all. Any suggestions for ISP would be gladly welcomed.

Good experiences: Bulldog. O2. Bad experiences: everyone else I tried. When Orange took over the same phone line and ADSL2 connection from O2, my speed halved, but they always claimed 8 Mbps was the fastest the line could do. The fact that it did 16 Mbps a month earlier was ignored. I think the answer seems to be to go with someone small with whom you can have a fairly personal relationship. Zen is highly-rated.

Sure, I pay more. I pay 100€/month, which includes TV (with on demand serials), internet (600mbps, measured this minute), fixed and mobile phone service (flat rate call to anywhere in Spain, SMS, and 10 GB cap on mobile). I can ask for a second mobile phone with a cap of 0.5 GB. In fact, I'm considering asking to reduce the speed and pay less. The trick here seems to be to request High Definition TV, maybe with sports. With fibre to the home. In my case they simply asked to do the change, they were keen on it. Then they stopped new installs for a year or so, and now they appear to be at it again. I was very happy because my ADSL was stuck at 1Mbps. Some people prefer ADSL, but they get 6..18 Mbps. Everything is not rosy colour, though. The router hangs now and then: my home server pings it every minute, and if it does not respond for 3 minutes I power cycle it via a remote controlled power strip (hoping that the switch integrated with the router still responds). All that costs money and effort. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

It's a little more then a single click - you would be assigned a different range, they might even have to create a whois entry. Plusnet is most likely also paying to be a RIPE NCC member (a LIR), which will cost them about EUR1400/annum. £5 for a static IP, one-off - that's entirely reasonable. Even 5/month.

You can buy a /24 for €2000-$4000. It's getting cheaper if the prefix is longer (/23 and so on). It's about €.65/IP-€1.3/IP/month the first year. You can also rent a /24 for about €200/year. Each IP-resource /16, /23 or whatever it is from RIPE-NCC cost you €50/year. Plusnet has 1095865 IPv4 addresses that they maintain in the RIPE-db. If half of them is used for static assignment and you pay €5 it's €2.7M/month. That's good bushiness. And the fee for being a LIR is a lot of other things. Request IPv4, IPv6, ASN.

All I am looking for is IPv4. The problem I have with plusnet is that since BT took them over they cap the bandwidth at 17Mbps / 1.2Mbps. I then phone up and complain and they lift the cap. I am then back to 19.5Mbps ish and 1.5Mbps. This has happened 3 times now. They also keep toggling interleaving without me asking them and this can affect the bandwidth too. So I am looking for an ISP which is like plusnet was before BT took them over. It is a shame because I used to speak very highly of plusnet. It is probably best to go with a smaller provider? Someone mentioned bulldog. I can only seem to find various foreign websites with different currencies. Are they a UK ISP? The other point is fiber internet. A lot of companies sell you "fiber" but you never actually get a fiber cable run to the property. Now I have seen some people locally who had this done back in 2006 /2007. Although when I inquired I was told it uses the existing phone line. Which as I said before is a dodgy cheap aluminium cable only capable of about 40Mbps. Obviously this is not going to be any good. I checked with openreach and my exchange had been upgraded and uses fiber only. I actually asked an engineer working on it one day and he said that to switch someone to fiber it is just a setting on the computer. there is no physical connection change. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Are you talking about buying a range on the transfer market? My company is a LIR, to my knowledge there is no fee per resource per year, but I'll have to double check.

Certainly.

It's a plain RIPE membership fee, actually. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (19.0°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes. My comment was about the statement that "€5/month" is reasonable. I don't find it particular reasonable. That's why I wrote those figures. In fact, if you break down the cost for every IP for an ISP it's quite small but they seems to think that they should get a few thousand percent in return.

You have Service Fee (membership), Independent Internet Resources (PI/PA addresses, ASN), Legacy Internet Resources. Every spring and autumn there is a debate about who should pay what amount and for what. I really hate that meeting. It's always in late afternoon Wednesdays in the week of the RIPE-meeting. Actually, it's next week in Amsterdam, Hotel Okura so I should pack my bags and be on my way.

Yes, it's a membership fee. But membership comes with a lot of other things than a cost for IPv4. That's extra. Membership gives you the right to vote in the general meeting, request resources, get service from NCC among other things.

The price is always determined by what the customer is willing to pay. The cost price is virtually irrelevant.
From a customer point of view, I find 5/month to be reasonable - just about the same price for a beer in a pub.
