💖 DAV_RECONSTRUCT 💖

okay bestie, so dav_reconstruct is a Cyrus IMAP thing — section 1 of the manual, main character energy, and it's here to rebuild the caldav and carddav database for a user or a whole lil squad of users. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dav_reconstruct [ -C alt_config] [ -A <audit tool> ] [ -a ] <userid_list>

that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so dav_reconstruct fixes up the dav internal sqlite database — the one that basically every dav command leans on to be fast and efficient, no cap. 🔥

here's the tea though: if that dav database gets corrupted, caldav and carddav can start returning the wrong stuff. like, not it at all. 😭 running dav_reconstruct can correct those faults and put everything back where it belongs. slay. 💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -C alt_config — alternative config file with cyrus settings. bringing your own config? iconic. 🌈
  • -a, --all — process all users on this store. everybody gets the glow-up. 👑
  • -A audit-tool, --audit-tool=audit-tool — name of a program that takes two sqlite databases and compares them. lowkey important: this option currently does not work. 💀 so don't come for me when it does nothing, bestie, it's in the docs fr fr.
  • userid_list — list of users whose cal/card dav information you need to fix. this is the one you actually gotta pass in. 🫶
