On line 11 you should also define CONTACTS_URL="https://..." otherwise on line 50 there are no contacts to import...

Thanks! works for me(PRO5/Ubports) making some changes...
-at line 60:
changing $CALENDAR_NAME & $CONTACTS_NAME variables to $CALENDAR_CONFIG_NAME & $CONTACTS_CONFIG_NAME

-at line 61:
sudo sh -c "echo '$COMMAND_LINE' > /sbin/sogosync" , instead of sudo echo "$COMMAND_LINE" > /sbin/sogosync , to avoid permission denied error

Forked this gist with patched above applied

added CONTACT_URL in line 11 thanks to olisax
changed $CALENDAR_NAME & $CONTACTS_NAME variables to $CALENDAR_CONFIG_NAME & $CONTACTS_CONFIG_NAME in line 61 thanks to ghost

How can i edit line 25 CRON_FREQUENCY="hourly" # I use "hourly" ?
I want to run some devices with this script on different times.
For example:
CRON_FREQUENCY="30 * * * *" # I use "hourly"
don't work with these crontab-format.
I'd like these concept:
Device 1 : each 5. minute per hour
Device 2 : each 15. minute per hour
Device 3 : each 25. minute per hour

Hi will this work with the latest Ubuntu Touch 16.04 (OTA-10) ?

Yes, it works. And really reliable. But unfortunately not the cron job. So no automatic regular sync. My workaround is, that I start the script in terminal manually (type sogosync and than execute) every time I need updated calender or contacts.
But please help. Maybe someone will be able to fix this bug

I notice that on the doc there: http://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/advanceduse/dav.html
it is written to replace 👍
sudo echo "$COMMAND_LINE" > /sbin/sogosync
by
sudo sh -c echo "$COMMAND_LINE" > /sbin/sogosync

also ligne 11 replace
# add the caldav URL here
by
# add the carddav URL here

Hi,

did you ever resolve this?

Personally I don't because the cronjob as such is not working for me anymore as stated above.
Have a look here, maybe this could help: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Cron/

I managed to make it work now. First I removed the existing contacts:

syncevolution --remove-database backend=evolution-contacts database=NextContacts
syncevolution --remove-database backend=evolution-calendar database=NextCalendar

Next I removed files/folder in .cache/syncevolution

Then I installed again the script. To manually launch an update, I open a Terminal on the device and type:
syncevolution myCloud

(CALENDAR_CONFIG_NAME=myCloud)

Cheers

I use UT 16.04 (OTA-12) and calendar sync with nextcloud is now supported in the calendar app via gui but contacts unfortunately still not,
so i try to trim the script only for contacts without cronjob (i think there is no need) but it seems to be a problem with datastore and configuration template. Syncevolution can`t find the datastore (CONTACTS_NAME=)"sogoadressen" and no configuration template for
(CONTACTS_CONFIG_NAME=)"sogoadressen" is available. Any ideas?

Okay now it works. I follow this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SyncEvolution/synchronize-google-contacts-with-evolution-addressbooks and made some adjustments.

I do it without a script an run the commands in descending order in the adb shell:
(customize username, Password and url)

`#config=next-conf
#datastore=next-datastore

#0. create database
syncevolution --create-database backend=evolution-contacts database=NextContacts

#1. create peer
syncevolution --configure --template webdav username=John password=johnssecret keyring=no target-config@next-conf

#2. create new datastore
syncevolution --configure backend=evolution-contacts database=NextContacts @default next-datastore

#3. Add a remote database to the datastore
syncevolution --configure database= https://domain.com/remote.php/dav/addressbooks/users/john/contacts/ backend=carddav target-config@next-conf next-datastore

#4. Connect remote Contacts with the local Database
syncevolution --configure --template SyncEvolution_Client syncURL=local://@next-conf username=john password=johnssecret next-conf next-datastore

#5. Add a local database to the datastore
syncevolution --configure sync=two-way backend=evolution-contacts database=NextContacts next-conf next-datastore

#6 first time syncing
syncevolution --sync refresh-from-remote next-conf next-datastore`
