    @Doubleve You don’t need these links, since vdircsyncer discovers your calendars automatically on iCloud and identifies them by their IDs.

    It is explained in the “Let vdirsyncer discover the collections and do the inital sync” section of the walkthrough.

    You mirror accesses the calendar saved to a file on your mirror.

        @Doubleve Did you change the first line of the file to #!/usr/bin/python3 ?

            That sounds good for me. Does it work with reminders on the same way?

              @Doubleve Hmmm…

              Maybe you have to allow your localhost address to the MagicMirror ipWhiteList option in your config. Just add ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1"], to your config right before the modules option. Maybe the calendar module can not access the .ics file if this is not allowed…

                @l0cal Yes this should work.

                Just add "VTODO" to the item_types array in your vdirsyncer config as described in the vdirsyncer docs here: https://vdirsyncer.pimutils.org/en/stable/config.html?highlight=VEVENT#storage-caldav.

                  @Beh yeah that are good news for me.

                  in the last few weeks I was looking for a solution for it and I did not find anything

                    I have a question

                    So far I managed to sync one calendar from one iCloud account, but I would like to sync also a second calendar from a second iCloud account, is this possible?

                    Thanks
                    Ricardo

                      Hey @ribermon!

                      Yes, this should be possible. You just have to add another configuration scheme for your second icloud account to the vdirsyncer config. I didn’t try it, but something like that should work:

                      # vdirsyncer configuration for MagicMirror.
                      #
                      # Move it to ~/.vdirsyncer/config or ~/.config/vdirsyncer/config and edit it.
                      # Run `vdirsyncer --help` for CLI usage.
                      #
                      # Optional parameters are commented out.
                      # This file doesn't document all available parameters, see
                      # http://vdirsyncer.pimutils.org/ for the rest of them.
                      
                      [general]
                      # A folder where vdirsyncer can store some metadata about each pair.
                      status_path = "~/.vdirsyncer/status/"
                      
                      # CALDAV Sync for iCloud 1
                      [pair iCloud1_to_MagicMirror]
                      a = "Mirror_iCloud1"
                      b = "iCloud1"
                      collections = ["HERE-GOES-THE-UUID-OF-THE-CALENDAR-YOU-WANT-TO-SYNC"]
                      
                      # Calendars also have a color property
