Monica CRM - CardDAV & General discussion

Hello Dosch!

I am starting to use Monica, and am working on this WebDAV sync issue recently.

I am testing two strategies, I will post about my progress/hopefully success on this thread, in case you or anyone else is interested in doing the same. On my Yunohost server I have installed:

  • Monica
  • Baikal
  • N8n

Preferred solution - most robust

  • Sync all my devices with Baikal WebDAV server only.
  • Set up a new calendar on Baikal for Monica, called ‘Monica’ or similar. This will allow me to see, copy, and edit Monica data on all my devices, but with the ability to keep it separate from my regular events.
  • Using N8n, set up two way sync between Baikal and Monica. This will hopefully reduce the worry about trusting/depending on Monica for all sensitive data.

This sounds great in theory, but I haven’t learned how to operate N8n yet, and am unfamiliar with automation sequences generally. So I’m trying this for now…

Currently most feasible solution
~ Sync each device with both Monica WebDAV and Baikal WebDAV.

Baikal is a robust, simple and commonly used WebDAV server, so I prefer to stick with it for my main data store.

@dosch Did you end up using Monica?
