Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response

  • Use the preformatted text formatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output.
  • If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
    • If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
  • Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.

One option would be to use a Linux Bash script, such as this one:
Linux Bash Script (German language Site but with DeepL you will for sure understand what it do)

→ 1. is that a nextcloud calendar?
→ 2. is that an active or hidden calendar?
→ 3. is that a shared calendar?
→ 4. on what OS was that calendar file created/exported on… did you edit it?
→ 5. what calendar app version was the export made from?

disable the Nextcloud Maps app!

HINT: be sure to disable Maps on your new instance, since that does cause issues!

  1. Yes
  2. Active

@Fanmion THX, FWIW… i’ve tested on various instances without issues!
is that old instance you exported from still available? can you try to add a new calendar and try to import there?

is that same share group also on the new instance?
