@anhanyoung91 Hi, I just followed the instructions on the first page.
I did have an issue at one point and it was just because I didn’t follow the instructions exactly as written.
If your getting an error Permission denied: /home/pi to me that sounds like you may not have the path to the vdirsyncer status folder set right. It appears it is trying to write to the /home/pi folder rather than ~/.vdirsyncer/status/Id go through the steps again and make sure you don’t skip anything.
As for the array issue in the vdirsyncer config I have 2 calendars I sync and the line looks something like this
where home is my main calendar and the random number string is my birthdays calendar.collections = ["home","57B7E3E-AB79-4DC3-9CF1-A63EB181DB"]
hope that helps

@Saabman thank you so much for the reply. I’ll trace my steps and give it a shot!

@Saabman I’ve literally re-done the steps over and over and I keep getting the permissions error. Have any other ideas what might be causing this or how to fix it? Thanks in advance

I run into a problem with vdirsyncer (discover) which is raised some times before in this thread, but I can’t find the solution. I have tried with other internet resources to solve my problem, but I ran out of options. Hopefully one of you can help me troubleshoot.
1.) First, I successfully followed the steps of @Beh with additionally the clean, easy way from here:
https://vdirsyncer.pimutils.org/en/stable/installation.html#the-clean-hard-wayI got stuck at the part: Let vdirsyncer discover the collections and do the inital sync, with the command vdirsyncer discover. It returned:
adm@raspberrypi:~ $ vdirsyncer discover Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/adm/.local/bin/vdirsyncer", line 5, in <module> from vdirsyncer.cli import main ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'vdirsyncer'
2.) Second, I followed the routine from @mr190e, on page 13 in this thread (link), after i used pipx uninstall vdirsyncer from The clean, easy way.
Seems like I got to work again. First of all, I installed vdirsyncer via “sudo apt-get install vdirsyncer”, and not using pip.
Now, vdirsyncer discover returns:
critical: Error during reading config /home/adm/.config/vdirsyncer/config: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/adm/.config/vdirsyncer/config'
Now I am out of tricks, I’m not sure how to troubleshoot this. What do I need to check, or to modify, to get it to work…
Thanks advance for your help!

@Alfnie so create the folder .config/.vdirsyncer
And add the config file there
