===Contacts Bug Workaround===
from [https://github.com/Uberspace/lab/pull/1287]

When your instance is hanging when you open the contacts app you might be affected by [https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/33048 Nextcloud issue #33048]

Workaround: .htaccess file inside nextcloud dir
 ErrorDocument 403 "Forbidden"
 ErrorDocument 404 "Not found"

afterwards 
 uberspace tools restart php

===Syncing calendar and contacts===
====NextCloud URLs====
The NextCloud web frontend shows these URLs:
 Addressbook : https://host.de/nextcloud/remote.php/dav/addressbooks/users/<USER>/contacts/
 Calendar    : https://host.de/nextcloud/remote.php/dav/calendars/<USER>/<CalName>/

====Android====
Use App [https://f-droid.org/en/packages/at.bitfire.davdroid/ DavDroid] from OpenSource App-store [https://f-droid.org F-Droid] to sync. See this [https://www.davdroid.com/tested-with/nextcloud/ howto].
 URL: https://host.de/nextcloud/remote.php/dav
 Settings
 CalDav: Past event time limit -> empty (=all events will be synchronized)
 CardDav: Contact group method -> per-contact categories (since NextCloud web App can only handle this.

In order to be able to view and savely modify the contact categories replace the default contacts App by [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobiletools.contacts Simple Mobile Tools' Contacts]

====iOS: iPhone, iPad====
 Server: host.de
 URL   : https://host.de/nextcloud/remote.php/dav/principals/users/<USER>/
 Port  : 443
(for calendar and addressbook)

====MacOSX====
same for contacts and calendar
 server : host.de
 path   : /nextcloud/remote.php/dav/principals/users/<USER>/
 port   : 443
 
 worked as well: /nextcloud/remote.php/dav/addressbooks/users/<USER>/contacts/

For some reason I spend hours debugging, but suddenly it worked. Maybe you need to wait for quite some time for initial syncing to finish...

'''Update''': Still there occured issues, {https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/13/admin_manual/issues/general_troubleshooting.html#troubleshooting-contacts-calendar here} I found the solution, which worked out of the box:

In webserver root .htaccess add
 Redirect 301 /.well-known/carddav /nextcloud/remote.php/dav
 Redirect 301 /.well-known/caldav /nextcloud/remote.php/dav

Than in MacOS Contacts remove the old entry and add a new carddav connection of Account Type: Automatic. Fill Email Address with user@server.com and add password, that's all.

Important to know: MacOS Contacts (as of MacOS version 10.14.1) does not allow for more than one addressbook per connection :-(

====Thunderbird====
Use Calender URL, displayed by NextCloud web frontend (as shown above)
