SoGo Calendar - other cloudron users as contacts

[wheez]

Hey everyone

Using the calendar of SoGo when I want to add another user of my Cloudron instance via their email, they used to show up while typing as a recommendation.
Also, their available times would be shown for me to choose from. Now somehow that has disappeared. Is it a setting I need to enable?
Also when I click on contacts I would love there to be all the users of my Cloudron. Is that possible?

Thank you for your help!

Are no users showing up or just the ones which have maybe never logged into SOGo so it can create the local account mapping?

no users are showing up

I can confirm that users from the Cloudron directory are not showing up, only users which are already added to the SOGo addressbook.

Do you know since when it stopped working? At least the last release changelog seems pretty unrelated https://github.com/Alinto/sogo/releases/tag/SOGo-5.11.2

Packaging wise nothing changed in some time on our side.

Hmm it has been for a bit like that. I remember when I originally set it up everything worked. You could see contacts and when they are available.
I don't remember the exact time I realized it not working, but it must have been 1–2 Months ago. Was not a priority and was still setting up so I didn't follow up on it.

I can try to recover the exact date I realized it stopped working if that helps.

Could have been broken for longer though. Maybe it is related to this?
https://github.com/Alinto/sogo/releases/tag/SOGo-5.11.0

addressbook: Removed SOGoGlobalAddressBookFirstEntries (use listRequiresDot instead) and move SOGoGlobalAddressBookFirstEntriesCount to globalAddressBookFirstEntriesCount in source scope. This fixed the broken listRequiresDot in 5.10 (4dba56f)

After investigating a bit, this is probably due to https://git.cloudron.io/apps/sogo-app/-/blob/master/sogo.conf.template?ref_type=heads#L66

This hasn't changed in a long time though on our end. Not sure if it makes sense to enable this for all, might "leak" Cloudron users to users. Personally I think it might just be useful, but maybe other SOGo users here can also comment on this?

[nebulon]

So there was no need to specify this behavior from a packaging perspective, it can just be customized via the config file.

I've added a docs section for this now http://docs.cloudron.io/apps/sogo/#cloudron-user-directory

@nebulon Thank you posting this information. If you enable the Cloudron user directory, is it all users on that Cloudron or only the users defined for that domain? For example, if I have 10 users on mail.domain1.com and 10 users on mail.domain2.com, will every user see 20 users or just the 10 resident in their domain?

[nebulon]

Since SOGo is a mail client app, it works for all mailboxes on that Cloudron. As such all mailboxes of that Cloudron will be available via this read-only address book.

@nebulon Thank you for the explanation. Is there any way to implement a "company directory" by domain as opposed to a "Cloudron directory"? Clearly this method would not work since all CLoudron users would be exposed and their calendar availability as well(:

[nebulon]

Since Cloudron is more designed in a way where a single Cloudron is not shared across organizations, this kind of ACL is not possible at the moment.

[wheez]

I changed the config and everything works. Super useful to have availability of people in the calendar apps!
Thank you for your help!

@nebulon Could the groups ACL currently built into Cloudron be extended into SoGo calendar? It is possible to limit apps to certain groups. Can multiple Sogo instances be added so that Group X has access to its own Sogo and Group Y has access to its own Sogo and the address book while global is confined to just the group?
