How to Install Nextcloud Owncloud App on Ubuntu Phone
Before you begin: Always first check in the stock ubuntu software center to make sure that it’s not simply available there first. As of the date of this post it is not, but I expect it will be there very soon. Do not proceed with this tutorial if there is a one click app in the software center 🙂 1…
How to Sync a Calendar Between Owncloud/Nextcloud and Thunderbird Lightning
For some reason this is not that intuitive the first time and there don’t seem to be many/any specific tutorials out there. I kept getting a ‘modification fail’ error message or other errors. So, here you go: In Nextcloud/Owncloud 1. Log in to your browser-based owncloud/nextcloud page 2. Go to the top left and click the down arrow to access…
Tutorial: How to Make NextCloud/Owncloud Calendar Work on Iphone Ipod
Unlike my typical tutorial formats, this one will be a near copy/paste from an email I sent to a real person so that other real people can connect this to their real brain and emotions: Dear _____, I’m going to forewarn you that this email is dripping with anger/frustration so try to just plunder through it and even try to…

Most of that is white noise, but all of it matters because I’ve learned from people (like my ghost writer) that you are either travelling down the slippery slope to…
Free Android CalDav Calendar Sync with Owncloud
After a long, long, time, the solution to syncing my Owncloud calendar to Android was bloody easy. The reason why I couldn’t get it done is because it seems that google (no surprise) blocks these kind of tools from their app place. They like to have things like your daily schedule and whereabouts nicely available for exploiting. If you don’t…
Weird Bug Fix for Crashing Owncloud Client on Ubuntu 14.04:Segmentation Fault (core dumped)
Not that most of you are going to ever see this or care, but as for me, I just spent about 6 hours over the last few weeks trying to resolve it so I hope as a public service this will help someone both fix their client and save some time! Background: My Ubuntu owncloud client was working just fine…
How to Privatize Your Calendar with Owncloud, Thunderbird, and Lightning
Edit 151224: I had accidentally selected ‘ics’ format instead of caldav. Sorry about that. Now it works! — Getting your calendar off other people’s servers should be a priority. It’s bad enough that you’re being tracked unwillingly but throwing your daily calendar out there to be viewed is borderline twisted. I needed a solution where the sync was happening on…
How to Migrate Thunderbird Lightning Calendar to Owncloud
I will expand this tutorial soon but I was able to figure it out from this. Bug me if I haven’t updated this and clarified the details since this tutorial is not clear in a few ways http://flailingmonkey.com/moving-contacts-calendar-google/
