FAQ

Where's Contacts/Calendar (CardDav/CalDav)?! Wasn't this supposed to be a core Nextcloud replacement?

Check this tag/release for more info and the code where/when that was being done. Contacts/CardDav worked and Calendar/CalDav mostly worked as well at that point.

The developer's focus was to replace Nextcloud for them and their family ASAP, and it turns out it's not easy to do it all in a single, installable thing, so they focused on the Files UI, sync, and sharing, since Radicale solved their other issues better than their own solution (and it's already very efficient).

How does file sharing work?

Check this PR for advanced sharing with internal and external users, with read and write access that was being done and almost working. The developer chose symlinks, as they served their use case (having multiple data backups and trusting the people they provide accounts to, with the symlinks).

You can simply ln -s /<absolute-path-to-data-files>/<owner-user-id>/<directory-to-share> /<absolute-path-to-data-files>/<user-id-to-share-with>/ to create a shared directory between two users, and the same directory can have different names, now. The symlink needs to point to the container's directory, usually starting with /app if you didn't change the Dockerfile, otherwise the container will fail to load the linked directory.
