I'm going off of the man page for syncevolution.

How do you "link" the two?
With syncURL=local://@webdav.
I now have a carddav config "remote", and an
evolution config "local", but how do I run the "remote" <->
"local"
combined config?
Are these "target config" and "sync config" (as described in the man
page under "SYNCHRONIZATION BEYOND SYNCML" or datastore configurations?
I think I need to do this manually, because I don't see a
template for
Evolution mail.
I don't understand where in the man page it tells me how to do that.
The relevant example is this (from CALDAV AND CARDDAV):
The following commands set up synchronization with a generic
WebDAV server that supports CalDAV, CardDAV and scanning
starting at the root of the server.
# configure target config
syncevolution --configure \
--template webdav \
syncURL=http://example.com \
username=123456 \
"password=!@#ABcd1234" \
target-config@webdav
# configure sync config
syncevolution --configure \
--template SyncEvolution_Client \
syncURL=local://@webdav \
username= \
password= \
webdav \
calendar addressbook
# initial slow sync
syncevolution --sync slow webdav
In your case, you seem to be only interested in CardDAV, so let's focus
on just contacts. The commands in your case should be something like
this:
# set up access to zoho.com
syncevolution --configure \
--template webdav \
syncURL=https://contacts.zoho.com/carddav/eric@oco.nnor.org/default/ \
username='eric(a)oco.nnor.org password='xxxxxxxx' \
target-config@zoho
# double-check access
syncevolution --print-items target-config@zoho addressbook
# configure sync config, enabling only addressbook
syncevolution --configure \
--template SyncEvolution_Client \
syncURL=local://@webdav \
username= \
password= \
zoho \
addressbook
# double-check local access
syncevolution --print-items zoho addressbook
# Now "zoho addressbook" is matched with "target-config@zoho
addressbook"
# and we can sync the two:
syncevolution --sync slow zoho
# All following syncs are incremental:
syncevolution zoho
I now am getting:
➤ syncevolution --run ev-local-addr
...
[INFO] @default/addressbook: using configured database=zoho-backend
[ERROR] sending message to child failed:
org.syncevolution.gdbuscxx.Exception: 1483751134.3343.16@tara/addressbo
ok: datastore not configured
...
I'm not sure what you configured to get to this point. As your local
~/.config/syncevolution might be in an unclean state now, it might be
worthwhile to throw it away (you don't have any other configs, do you?)
with "rm -rf ~/.config/syncevolution" before running the commands above.
