Looks like in Radicale 3.7, there is improved collection sharing? Has anyone tried using this?

I haven’t tried any sharing previously because it seemed like it wasn’t officially (or well) supported before, since you had to do some weird symlink hack.

Is sharing now more officially supported now? I looked at the UI, but I didn’t see anything mentioning sharing…

    There are two types, by map and token to conform to different usecases.

    Ahh, ok… I’m seeing the docs.

    ShareType: type of share

    token: token-based share (do not require user authentication)
    map: map-based share (requires user authentication)

    Ahh, ok. So whether you need authentication or not.

    There are also two different storage types, csv and files.

    And the docs for that…

    CSV

One CSV file containing one row per sharing config, separated by ; and containing header with columns from above.

If given, properties are stored in JSON format in CSV.
Files

File-based configuration store is using encoded PathOrToken as filename for each config. File contains the data stored as "dict" in binary Python "pickle" format (same is also used for item cache files).

    So if you want plaintext vs binary storage.

    you have to edit your config file with the ‘[sharing]’ section.

    Would you mind sharing your config, pretty please. 🙏

      Here is the relevant section:

      [sharing]
type = csv
database_path = /var/lib/radicale/collections/sharing.csv
collection_by_map = true
permit_create_map = true

      Just FYI, my filesystem_folder is defined as /var/lib/radicale/collections.

      BTW. The token based sharing, as I understand, still requires auth, just not an user auth but, well, a token one.
