[Liverpool] NextCloud conversation last night - calendar/contacts sync

[Dan Lynch]

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks to everyone who came to the meal the other night. It was very enjoyable.

As for Nextcloud. I only use it with friends and family. Have never got anywhere near those user numbers sorry.

I checked some of the case studies and current large deployments. Some 20k users plus. Berlin University has a large set up and SIEMENS also use it.

They all seem mostly concerned with the file storage/transfer side of things when reading through though. I don't know about the calendar and contacts syncing, which is your main concern.

Sorry I can't be more help,

Dan

They seem to recommend using CalDAV / CardDAV instead - but in the past I've had poor experience with both protocols. I find that it sort of works ok up to 100-300 items of either contacts or calendars, but when you throw more at it, the implementations I tried just fall over during the sync. Has anyone had contacts or calendar sync working (to a mobile platform, preferably) with NextCloud with larger data sets - at least 2-3000 contacts or calendar items by any chance? It is one reason I ended up with Horde - as they provide ActiveSync, and it manages to syncronise large datasets to clients reliably.
