Documentation Nextcloud-Kontakte in Thunderbird einbinden – intux.de
could someone update this to reflect what is described here; Nextcloud-Kontakte in Thunderbird einbinden – intux.de
What is missing?
Please join us and make an proposal.
I just tested the official instructions, and they do work. So I’m not sure what exactly you’d want to change, apart from maybe adding screenshots. But more importantly, following the official instructions is actually easier than the guide you linked, especially if you have multiple address books in your Nextcloud.
With the official docs, you simply enter the base URL of your Nextcloud, and Thunderbird will show you a list of all the address books in your account, letting you choose which ones to add. In the guide you linked, however, you have to copy the direct link to a specific address book (already an extra step), and if you have more than one, you need to repeat the whole process for each one, i.e., add them individually.
The nextcloud documentation fails to provide the proper url for connecting the cardav.
hint: it is not the base url of the server https://cloud.example.com That will fail with a rather confusing message.
The complete link probably is https://cloud.example.com/remote.php/cardav but might differ. Hence the procedure in the document link I included with the suggestion to add it to the nextcloud documenation.
Which version of Thunderbird are you using? I tested it with 143.0.1 and it worked.
Here’s how I connected to my AIO test instance:
That’s what it looked after entering the password:
Only one calendar is displayed here because it is a new test user account. On my productive instance, all calendars are displayed there, including those that have been shared with me. Then you just have to click on “Subscribe,” and the calendars will be added to Thunderbird.
Probably something with the well-known urls not working correctly
Like Syskeeper said, the serve is not configured correctly.
Feel free to provide an PR at GitHub to improve the docs.
