[Slydder]

my question is where the hell is it trying to even write to?

am guessing the .well-known/(caldav|carddav) directories. under public or what?

Hey @Slydder

You can var_dump($...) the path in /var/www/davis/vendor/sabre/dav/lib/DAV/Server.php to see what it is exactly. It might be one of the webdav directories set in your config.

[Slydder]

The only mention of a path in the installation is the webdav path and temp directory for webdav. which is MAYBE somehow might be connected to the caldav/carddav side of things. quite unclear from the documentation. and if the path does need to be added somewhere then where and do I need to create the directory structure and what permissions need to be active.

I did a var_dump on path but it was empty. not sure where to go from here.

Just switched over to a docker install and apparently the imap login variable is also different.

[Slydder]

Also missing apache configs for default docker install.

[Slydder]

ok. it seems that accessing IP_ADDRESS/dav no redirects to localhost/dav. which I am sure is not what should happen. the apache config I am using is quite simple and just proxypass's to localhost:9000

and accessing IP_ADDRESS:9000/dav gets a 403 error from the nginx container

will try the standalone image now with caddy even though it seems to be based on a different version of things.

What do you mean?

There's an example apache config here → https://github.com/tchapi/davis/blob/main/README.md#example-apache-24-configuration
If it's not working or outdated, don't hesitate to provide a PR (I'm not using Apache myself, so I'm not an expert on it)

IMAP login doesn't work with either of the docker installs. not sure what is going on there but have decided to go back to the normal install for now. at least I can get logged in.

yeah. that is the config for the normal install and not for proxying to docker.
