vdirsyncer VS org-caldav

Have a look at vdirsyncer. Sync calendars to a local directory and then use eMacs to read them.

I found vdirsyncer which seems like a nice and promising idea similar to maildir which I already use with notmuch, even though it seems too opinionated and the support for Google calender seems largely untested/unsupported.

For getting ics files, have you seen vdirsyncer ?

On another topic, I maintain a tool to synchronise calendars (e.g.: events and todos) using CalDav (a standard HTTP-based protocol which a lot of calendar servers implement). I'm actually rewriting this in Rust full-time these days.

I used https://github.com/pimutils/vdirsyncer and made a cronjob for it on my host. The configuration is pretty simple - but always do a backup before testing! :)

Whatever CalDAV type calendar you go with (NextCloud and Radicale have been suggested here, Sabre/DAV, DAViCal and Baikal are other options), in case you need to sync calendars to it, you might want to look at vdirsyncer. This way, everyone can keep using his favorite app and you can still gather everything in once central place and have it all synced. Or you get everyone to set up DAVx5.

I have recently started organizing my calendars using `vdirsyncer` [vdirsyncer](https://github.com/pimutils/vdirsyncer)

Hm. Generally for folks who are familiar with the command line I suggest using vdirsyncer, a nifty little python program that lets you keep remote calendars in sync.

For CalDAV there is org-caldav or khalel. For CardDAV there is khalel. In my experience, though, using these packages is kind of involved and not very satisfying.

- Org-Caldav

PS: I've asked a similar question before and I know of org-caldav, which still requires a CalDAV proxy and org-gcal, which only works for Google.

Yeah, thanks for mentioning this - that was indeed my plan. I’m using org-caldav successfully on one machine, but I’m finding it hard to run across multiple machines. https://github.com/dengste/org-caldav/issues/270

org-caldav for calendar sync

I have a few files that are specifically reserved just for calendar/todo syncs. Then I set them up with org-caldav.

Random example of someone dealing with it... :

I use org-caldav with emacs-calfw.

I have Org-Caldav partially working with davmail and Office365. (Yes my employer hates me and I have to use Outlook!) In Thunderbird items I create on the phone appear in Org-Mode. But for Org-Caldav items I create on the phone do not appear. Items created in Emacs Org-Capture in the todo.org file do appear in Outlook (and Thunderbird).
