## 🌍 Access up to date Contacts on Devices (IOS, Android) and apps.
|
||||
|
||||
This feature is for the slightly tech-savvy... or you are lucky enough to have a privacy conscious tech friend nearby!
|
||||
We assume you have a CardDAV server running, know how to spin one up, or use a hosted service that does the job for you.
|
||||
|
||||
A typical setup looks like this:
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
Obsidian VCF Contacts Plugin
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Contacts DAV Server
|
||||
↓
|
||||
├── DAVx⁵ → Android Contacts (read only)
|
||||
├── iOS Contacts (read only)
|
||||
└── Thunderbird (or any CardDAV-capable email client) (read only)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
#### CardDAV Server Options
|
||||
|
||||
You can self-host or use cardav provider. There are many, some popular options:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Baïkal** lightweight and easy docker container to run
|
||||
* **Radicale** minimal, Python-based
|
||||
* **Nextcloud Contacts** a popular alternative cloud service
|
||||
* **SOGo** open-source groupware server
|
||||
|
||||
#### Synchronization Settings
|
||||
|
||||
In the plugin setting page select "sync method" CardDav. Here you can fill in the Address Book URL and credentials. pressing Enable button will test the connection and enable the sync when ok
|
||||
|
||||
* Basic authentication (username + password)
|
||||
* API key authentication
|
||||
|
||||
OpenID Connect (OAuth2) is not supported at this time.
