  The idea of the project was to save the nextcloud calendar and adressbook files for backup reasons. Personally, this was the more approbiate way of backing up my files than saving the SQL-Database and extract the calendar items from there.

A while ago I was facing a comparable problem. In one situation (a simple script without a gui) I used the package “progressbar2” as you can see here (GitHub Repo). You can wrap progressbar2 in a for-loop and iterate over your items.

In another situation I used a kind of imitation of a progressbar. I implemented a GIF which indicates that a process is in progress. That means a page gets loaded, the GIF starts to run, after finishing the process in the background a page refresh is initiated but without loading the GIF again. That’s obviously a fake progressbar, but for the purpose of indicating that something is going on in the background fully okay for me in certain situations.
