I submitted a set of patches to SyncEvolution in order to have it use OA for owncloud. The patches can be found here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86824 Alternatively, one can build SyncEvolution from this git repository, which already contains these patches: https://gitlab.com/mardy/syncevolution/commits/split-signon (note that if you checkout the repository, you *have* to checkout the "split-signon" branch; you won't find these change in the "master" branch!) Here are the steps on how to test it on the desktop Build SyncEvolution: ./configure --with-synthesis-src=none --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --libexecdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/syncevolution --enable-gui \ --enable-dav --enable-uoa --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu make && sudo make install Install the account plugin: bzr branch lp:~mardy/owncloud-app/test-se cd test-se && click build . sudo click install --user=<your-user> --allow-unauthenticated \ ./com.ubuntu.developer.danielholm.owncloud-app_0.1_all.click Then copy these two additional files: cp plugin/data/owncloud-{contacts,calendar}.service \ ~/.local/share/accounts/services Then, start "system-settings" (make sure you have the ubuntu-system-settings-online-accounts package installed), go to Accounts, and create your owncloud account. Then run account-console list and see what's the numeric ID of the owncloud account. Let's call it XX. Then, configure evolution like this: syncevolution --configure --template webdav \ username=uoa:XX,owncloud-contacts \ syncURL=https://server/path/ \ target-config@owncloud and (note, replace <user> with your username) syncevolution --configure \ database=https://server/path/remote.php/carddav/addressbooks/<user>/contacts/ \ backend=carddav target-config@owncloud mycontacts Finally, you can test retrieving your contacts with: syncevolution --print-items target-config@owncloud mycontacts If everything worked fine, you'll see a list of vcf being printed in the standard output. The next step is to modify sync-monitor to watch for owncloud accounts and configure syncevolution for you.
