Hi

How-To import .vcf from Nextcloud export into iCloud?

Export file:

Code:
head addressbook.vcf
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
PRODID;VALUE=TEXT:-//Apple Inc.//macOS 11.1//EN

Script:

Code:
cat backup_nextcloud_adr.sh
#!/bin/bash
url="https://example.org/remote.php/dav/addressbooks/users/example@example.org/contacts/?export"
user=example@example.org
pwd=''
wget \
--quiet --output-document="../nextcloud/adr/addressbook.vcf" \
--auth-no-challenge \
--http-user=$user --http-password="$pwd" \
"$url"

On iCloud.com it does not work. It just does nothing, no contacts there but also no error message.

This is what I found with a web search.

thanks

 
Here is Apple Support’s guide on how to import .vcf into iCloud. Your export does not show any information besides a VCARD header - which is a result in of the default number of characters head displays. I assume that you edited the script and provided your user info and password before running it on NextCloud and that there are full contact entries in the export (cat your-exported.vcf)?
