This is the [bewCloud app](https://bewcloud.com) built using [Fresh](https://fresh.deno.dev) and deployed using [docker compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/).
mkdir data-files data-radicale radicale-config # local directories for storing user-uploaded files, radicale data, and radicale config (these last two are necessary only if you're using CalDav/CardDav/Contacts)
Now, download/copy the following configuration files (and tweak their contents as necessary, though no changes should yield a working — but very unsafe — setup):
- [`docker-compose.yml`](/docker-compose.yml)
- [`.env.sample`](/.env.sample) and save it as `.env`
- [`bewcloud.config.sample.ts`](/bewcloud.config.sample.ts) and save it as `bewcloud.config.ts`
docker compose up -d # makes the app available at http://localhost:8000
docker compose run --rm website bash -c "cd /app && make migrate-db" # initializes/updates the database (only needs to be executed the first time and on any data updates)
> If you run into permission issues, you can try running `sudo chown -R 1993:1993 data-files` to fix them.

> `1993:1993` above comes from deno's [docker image](https://github.com/denoland/deno_docker/blob/2abfe921484bdc79d11c7187a9d7b59537457c31/ubuntu.dockerfile#L20-L22) where `1993` is the default user id in it. It might change in the future since I don't control it.

CalDav/CardDav is now available since [v2.3.0](https://github.com/bewcloud/bewcloud/releases/tag/v2.3.0), using [Radicale](https://radicale.org/v3.html) via Docker, which is already _very_ efficient (and battle-tested). The "Contacts" client for CardDav is available since [v2.4.0](https://github.com/bewcloud/bewcloud/releases/tag/v2.3.0) and for CalDav is not yet implemented. [Check this tag/release for custom-made server and clients where it was all mostly working, except for many edge cases](https://github.com/bewcloud/bewcloud/releases/tag/v0.0.1-self-made-carddav-caldav).
In order to share a calendar, you can either have a shared user, or you can symlink the calendar to the user's own calendar (simply `ln -s /<absolute-path-to-data-radicale>/collections/collection-root/<owner-user-id>/<calendar-to-share> /<absolute-path-to-data-radicale>/collections/collection-root/<user-id-to-share-with>/`).
> [!NOTE]
> If you're running radicale with docker, the symlink needs to point to the container's directory, usually starting with `/data` if you didn't change the `radicale-config/config`, otherwise the container will fail to load the linked directory.
Public file sharing is now possible since [v2.2.0](https://github.com/bewcloud/bewcloud/releases/tag/v2.2.0). [Check this PR for advanced sharing with internal and external users, with read and write access that was being done and almost working](https://github.com/bewcloud/bewcloud/pull/4). I ditched all that complexity for simply using [symlinks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link) for internal sharing, as it served my use case (I have multiple data backups and trust the people I provide accounts to, with the symlinks).
You can simply `ln -s /<absolute-path-to-data-files>/<owner-user-id>/<directory-to-share> /<absolute-path-to-data-files>/<user-id-to-share-with>/` to create a shared directory between two users, and the same directory can have different names, now.
> If you're running the app with docker, the symlink needs to point to the container's directory, usually starting with `/app` if you didn't change the `Dockerfile`, otherwise the container will fail to load the linked directory.
