DAVx⁵ :android:🔄

Did you know that you can easily (re-)setup DAVx5 via QR code by simply using this type of URL to automatically pre-fill the DAVx5 Login screen:

davx5://user@server.example.com/path/

You will need an appropriate QR code scan app like Binary Eye. Read more here: manual.davx5.com/integration.h

Pro tip: save the QR code somewhere and whenever you want to re-setup simply scan it again ;-). Also great to help other not so tech savvy users by simply giving them a QR code!

@davx5app
Nice. But who provides the QR code?

@SanskritFritz for example put the manually created davx5:// URL into duckduck.go search field and add qr! behind it. It will display the QR for you which you can save or send somewhere else

@davx5app @SanskritFritz The exclamation mark should go before 'qr', right? So 'davx5:// ... !qr'

@bartavi @davx5app
True, but it worked this way too as it sent me to QR code generator sites :D

@bartavi @davx5app @SanskritFritz duckduckgo bangs usually work with exclamation before or after, at least for short ones.

@davx5app btw, that is cool but why not just an davx5.backup.txt export/import?

@radasbona that is not possible yet since the internals of DAVx5 are spread between the system and davx5 and a lot can go wrong when importing data back. we are currently refactoring a lot of stuff and hope to provide better backup possibilities in the (not so far) future!
