Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Vdirsyncer uses an ini-like format for storing its configuration. All values
|
|
are JSON, invalid JSON will get interpreted as string::
|
|
|
|
x = "foo" # String
|
|
x = foo # Shorthand for same string
|
|
|
|
x = 42 # Integer
|
|
|
|
x = ["a", "b", "c"] # List of strings
|
|
|
|
x = true # Boolean
|
|
x = false
|
|
|
|
x = null # Also known as None

#password_command =
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``status_path``: A directory where vdirsyncer will store metadata for the
|
|
next sync. The data is needed to determine whether a new item means it has
|
|
been added on one side or deleted on the other. Relative paths will be
|
|
interpreted as relative to the configuration file's directory.
|
|
|
|
The directory will contain files with very confidential information:
|
|
Usernames, passwords and listings of collection items may be contained in it.
|
|
|
|
- ``password_command`` specifies a command to query for server passwords. The
|
|
command will be called with the username as the first argument, and the
|
|
hostname as the second.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 0.3.0
|
|
The ``passwordeval`` parameter.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 0.4.0
|
|
The ``passwordeval`` parameter has been renamed to ``password_command``.

Pair Section

[pair pair_name]

a = ...

|

#conflict_resolution = null
|
|
|
|
- Pair names can consist of any alphanumeric characters and the underscore.
|
|
|
|
- ``a`` and ``b`` reference the storages to sync by their names.
|
|
|
|
- ``collections``: Optional, a list of collections to synchronize. If this
|
|
parameter is omitted, it is assumed the storages are already directly
|
|
pointing to one collection each. Specifying a collection multiple times won't
|
|
make vdirsyncer sync that collection more than once.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, there are the special values ``"from a"`` and ``"from b"``,
|
|
which tell vdirsyncer to try autodiscovery on a specific storage.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
- ``collections = ["from b", "foo", "bar"]`` makes vdirsyncer synchronize the
|
|
collections from side B, and also the collections named "foo" and "bar".
|
|
|
|
- ``collections = ["from b", from a"]`` makes vdirsyncer synchronize all
|
|
existing collections on either side.
|
|
|
|
- ``conflict_resolution``: Optional, define how conflicts should be handled. A
|
|
conflict occurs when one item (event, task) changed on both sides since the
|
|
last sync.
|
|
|
|
Valid values are:
|
|
|
|
- ``"a wins"`` and ``"b wins"``, where the whole item is taken from one side.
|
|
Vdirsyncer will not attempt to merge the two items.
|
|
- ``null``, the default, where an error is shown and no changes are done.

Storage Section

===============
|
|
|
|
::
|

|
[storage storage_name]
|
|
type = ...
|
|
|
|
- Storage names can consist of any alphanumeric characters and the underscore.
|
|
|
|
- ``type`` defines which kind of storage is defined. See :ref:`storages`.
|
|
|
|
- ``read_only`` defines whether the storage should be regarded as a read-only
|
|
storage. The value ``true`` means synchronization will discard any changes
|
|
made to the other side. The value ``false`` implies normal 2-way
|
|
synchronization.
|
|
|
|
- Any further parameters are passed on to the storage class.

Supported Storages

------------------
|

|
|
.. module:: vdirsyncer.storage
|
|
|
|
Read-write storages
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
These storages generally support reading and changing of their items. Their
|
|
default value for ``read_only`` is ``false``, but can be set to ``true`` if
|
|
wished.
|
|
|
|
.. autostorage:: CaldavStorage
|
|
|
|
.. autostorage:: CarddavStorage
|
|
|
|
.. autostorage:: FilesystemStorage
|
|
|
|
.. autostorage:: SingleFileStorage
|
|
|
|
Read-only storages
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
These storages don't support writing of their items, consequently ``read_only``
|
|
is set to ``true`` by default. Changing ``read_only`` to ``false`` on them
|
|
leads to an error.
