Sync private iCloud calendar with MagicMirror

Thanks for your reply, it sounds simple, however it seems complicated for me.
I do as you say by taking these commands from the instruction (is this correct?)mkdir /home/adm/.config/vdirsyncer/ touch /home/adm/.config/vdirsyncer/config nano /home/adm/.config/vdirsyncer/config
It results in:
admns@raspberrypi:~ $ mkdir /home/adm/.config/vdirsyncer/ mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/home/adm/.config/vdirsyncer/’: No such file or directory admns@raspberrypi:~ $ touch /home/adm/.config/vdirsyncer/config touch: cannot touch '/home/adm/.config/vdirsyncer/config': No such file or directory
How should I create the folder .config/.vdirsyncer as you pointed out?
-
@Alfnie you missed the . in front of vdirsyncer…
the dot on linux makes the folder ‘hidden’ from normal ls commands… as linux file system doesn’t have a hidden attribute
-
@Alfnie
who is adm? should be the current username (pi?)always best to use the shortcut
~/.config
~ means the home folder of the current user , same as
/home/$USERor /home/pi is pi is logged in

Thanks, it works now.
Also, I have learned about the dot (.) implying Hidden folders, thanks.
Tomorrow I’m gonna try to add multiple calendars. -
Hi @Beh,
thank you very much for this detailed description. This was exactly what I was looking for for my MM, and with your step-by-step instructions it worked for me straight away.
Happy New Year and thank you very much again!!! :thumbs_up:May the code be with you

Thanks for the detailed description, I’ve done this and it works most of the time, however one of my calendars is not updating.
I know very little about Pi’s and am new to Linux it general, are there any suggestions on how to find issues? -
The problem with not updating looks like it’s related to one of my calendars not having any entries in the requested timescale. If all calendars have entries then they sync however if one (in my case the last one) has no entries then there are no updates. Very strange.
