CCS replacement

I understand CCS (Calendar and Contact Server) is being redacted, but that there will be a replacement in a future release. I just set up a client with the service today, but I'm assuming that's a bad idea if the next upgrade of Rocky Linux (9) will no longer support it.

So is there any pre-release news on a substitute or replacement? Any advice on a good direction to pursue with regard to a shared calendar for a smaller group who appreciates everything else about the email we're providing through cPanel and Roundcube... and that can also work with Phones and Outlook.

  Hey there!  While I know it's happening, I don't have any news on the replacement just yet.

  What's the best place to find active CCS users? Would it be /opt/cpanel-ccs/data/Logs/access.log?

  We're planning migrations from CL7 to CL9 so I need to find and migrate active users to CL8 servers.

  Ryan Smith - I reached out to the team and they let me know that generic activity in the logs aren't necessarily a good indication of an active user.  A better way to see if there are CCS users is to check the database itself to see if there are any calendars in use:

  #psql --user caldav postgesql://?host=opt/cpanel-ccs/data/Data/Database/psqlsocks
  #select count(*) from calendar_object;

  If that returns data from the "count" column output, you'll know there are active users on the system. 

  To find the users, you could then go through the logs and look for output similar to the following:

  x.x.x.x - username [04/Mar/2024:14:14:00 -0500] "REPORT(DAV:expand-property) / HTTP/1.1" 207 388 "-" "OS/#.#.# CalendarSoftware/1.2.3"

  or something similar that would represent an actual connection linked to a specific username.

  I know that isn't the easiest solution, but it's likely the most accurate.  I suppose if you know for certain there are calendar users, you could skip the psql commands completely.
