DCS Configuration Manual?
by Corey Head 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

Hello-- Looking through the archives and all over, the best thing I could find for help configuring the DCS is this: http://www.macworld.com/article/132736/caldavserver.html?loomia_ow=t0:s0:a3… It's a bit dated and has nothing about the CardDAV server now included with the CalDAV server. Is there anything out there that talks about how to configure these pieces? I need the CalDAV server's more advanced settings than discussed in the above article, like how to setup sending invites to others not on this server. Also, I would like to start on the CardDAV but see nothing out about that one and how to get started with it. I assumed some similarities between the configuration for it and the CalDAV, but haven't been able to initiate and connect to it yet. Any links to manuals, installation guides, etc. would be most appreciated! Thanks! Corey

Calendar Server Dependencies
by Rahul Amaram 24 Jul '10

24 Jul '10

Hi, I am currently pacakging Calendarserver 3.0 for the official Debian repository. As the official Debian maintainer (Guido) is busy with something else, I have taken over the task. I have packaged calendarserver 2.4 but because of it using a patched version of twisted, it seems to be conflicting with some other packages. So Guido suggested me to instead look into packaging Calendarserver 3.0 as it is very likely to be released by the time Debian squeeze is released. So here are a few queries which I have: 1. Currently, shall I take the latest svn revision and work on it or is there a particular revision in the development of 3.0 which has been tested and is relatively stable? 2. Any estimate on the release date for 3.0? 3. What are the minimum versions of the dependencies - libevent, memcached, postgresql? Is it fine to use libevent 1.3e-3, memcached 1.2.8 and postgresql 8.3.11? The support/build.sh uses the latest versions of these packages but I am not sure if that is the minimum version required as well. Looking forward to a response. Regards, Rahul.

Stable Contacts Server?
by Lennart Goedhart 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

Hi all, I already have a stable 2.4 Calendar Server running on CentOS 5. I would like to add Contacts Server capabilites to that machine. I can't find a tagged stable release of Calendar and Contacts Server to test with. I'm testing with trunk on my iMac, but I'm aware of the risks of running that in production. Was the version of Contacts Server that ships with 10.6 server checked in somewhere else? If not, is there a stable branch that I can use instead? Having said that, I've had no issues in my tests from the iMac with the prod data. Mac OS X Address Book seems to have some issues with using the Contacts Server though... no problems with the iPhone. Regards, Lennart

Clustering / Scaling Up Calendarserver
by Rahul Amaram 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

Hi, I am exploring possibilities for scaling up Calendarserver. The only solution I could think of is to mount the data directory on several systems using some shared filesystem and running a calendarserver instance on each machine. But I am not sure if this would result in data corruption. Are there any known/suggested methods on how to scale up Calendarserver? This is because we are considering installing calendarserver for a 30000 user base and I really doubt if a single system (even with multiple processes) could handle this. Regards, Rahul.
