Research direction

The issue describes a Fedora KDE setup using gnome-online-accounts and gnome-online-accounts-gtk, but names no repository file or test. First check the project’s documentation for where setup instructions belong. Done means the documented steps explain the WebDAV, CalDAV, and CardDAV addresses and the need to re-add the account to discover new calendars and address books.

Description

Hello! I figured out how to sync Gnome Contacts and Gnome Calendar without installing Evolution.

This method is proven to work on Fedora 41 Kionite (KDE).

Install gnome-online-accounts and the GUI gnome-online-accounts-gtk.

Next, run gnome-online-accounts-gtk. Click to add a WebDAV account.

Fill in server address http://localhost:37358, username, and password. You must fill in the "optional" calDAV and cardDAV server addresses as http://localhost:37358 All existing calendars and address books will be synced. You must remove and re-add the webDAV account for new calendars and address books to sync.
