Hi,
Just sharing something i found useful.
context : i am using nextcloud calendar, my wife is still using google calendar. i want to see her calendar (read only) in nextcloud and she wants to see mine (read only) in google.
easiest solution : get her to use your nextcloud serverâs calendar !!!
if for some reason, she does not want to, keep reading.
sharing a google calendar in nextcloud :
- connect to the google calendar to be shared
- click on the dented wheel on the top right, to open settings
- on the nav bar on the left, scroll down to âsettings for my calendarsâ, then develope menu for the calendar to be shared
- scroll down to âintegrate calendarâ
- look for "secret address in ical format and click on âcopyâ icon
- head back to nextcloud calendar app
- click on the plus sign next to ânew calendarâ on the left nav bar
- then click on "new subscription from lin (read only)
- copy paste the link from google calendar, then validate
- after a few seconds, events from the google calendar should show up
- profit !
sharing a nextcloud calendar in google :
you could use the subscription link from nextcloud and add it to your google calendar⊠but as google only refreshes external calendar not so frequently (like every 24 hours), this is not really a satisfying solution.
after a long time googling for a solution i found this : GitHub - derekantrican/GAS-ICS-Sync: A Google Apps Script for syncing ICS/ICAL files faster than the current Google Calendar speed
as explained in the read me :
- copy paste this script to your own google app script interface
- edit the script and modify some values :
- line 21 paste the subscription link from your nextcloud calendar and choose the calendar name that will appear in google calendar
- lines 24 to 39 review options and modify as needed (especially refresh interval, by default : 15 min)
- on the top menu select âinstallâ function", then click on ârunâ
- on the top menu select âstartSyncâ function, then click on ârunâ
- you will need to grant permissions for this script to edit your calendar
- after a few seconds events form your nextcloud calendar should show up on your google calendar
nb : obvisouly you have to make sure google can access your nextcloud instance. for example, i had set uo cloudflare in front of my instance to block connections from other countries than mine. i had to add a rule allowing google AS before the rule blocking all countries but mine.
