Access

Web Interface

Use this URL in your browser:

https://stuff.milkypond.org/

Then you can setup your contacts, calendars, and store files.

WebDAV Interface

You can use the WebDAV interface to sync your data from a desktop application or you mobile device. Applications can use the main address of the web interface (see above) with your credentials and should be able to discover you data, but sometimes they have limitations and you need to specify a full ugly link ; in this case you can find the link in the interface, either on the resource to access or in your personal settings page.

Files

  • Desktop:
    • remote drive (synchronous): use XFCE/Gigolo or GNOME/Nautilus
    • synchronize (asynchronous): use the sync utility (no Debian package yet)
  • Mobile Devices:

Contacts

  • Desktop: synchronize with GNOME/Evolution
  • Mobile Devices:
    • Android: the DAVdroid app (available on F-Droid) works well
  • Webmail:
    • Webdesk (Horde): does not work
    • webmail (RoundCube): works nicely with the newest webmail (RoundCube) (see in Settings->Preferences->CardDAV)

Calendars

  • Desktop: synchronize with GNOME/Evolution
  • Mobile Devices:
    • Android: the DAVdroid app (available on F-Droid) works well
  • Webmail:

  • Desktop: ???
  • Mobile Devices:
    • Android: the DAVdroid app for synchronization and OpenTasks for UI work well (both available on F-Droid)
    • Webdesk (Horde): ???
    • webmail (RoundCube): ???

Notes

  • Desktop: ???
  • Mobile Devices:
    • Android: the Notes app (available on F-Droid) works but seem to have some bugs (like duplicate saving, to be investigated)

Web Bookmarks

  • Desktop:
    • Firefox: the Floccus app works; it creates a special bookmark in Other Bookmarks called Owncloud (I don't think renaming would not break things); the sync happens every 25 minutes, so be patient
    • Chromium: the Floccus app is untested
  • Mobile Devices:
    • Android:
  • the Nextcloud Bookmarks app on F-Droid works well
  • the save to Nextcloud Bookmarks app on F-Droid is supposed to work but…
