Hi,

it would be nice if you could add a creation script to initialize the DB
on a remove server.

Alternatively, it would be even nicer if you could include support for
using dbconfig-common in your packaging.

Regards,
Daniel

i second that motion, strongly in favor of dbconfig-common.

the typical way to do things as described in the calidav wiki works
fine when followed precisely, but due to the "local all all trust" step
it is inacceptable for setup on production servers while they are in
use. (i'm not sure the setup described there is safe for systems with
local users at all.)

especially for users who don't know a thing about postgres, that would
help a lot (and might even avoid inseucre setups by providing a default
that works)

count me among those who don't know a thing about postgres; I'll have to
read up about dbconfig-common, and I'm unaware of descriptions in the
DAViCal wiki on how to set up remote DB connections or securely
configure DB access with mutually untrusted users on the same machine.

The DAViCal community team is trying to pick up the pieces and provide
regular maintenance releases, but is dependent upon others to contribute
code and ideas in many areas. It would be awesome if you could provide
such a script, update the database documentation on the wiki or describe
how to implement dbconfig-common support, here or even better as a pull
request on gitlab: https://gitlab.com/davical-project/davical
