Had somebody the same expirience and knows some tips.

If I’m right you talk about standard calendar module and getting connected to your nextcloud.

I have done my config as you can see and it works fine

{
	module: "calendar", 
	header: "  WHAT CALENDAR YOU WILL SHOW", // see help for more information
	position: "bottom_left",
	config: {
		colored: true,
		displaySymbol: true,
		wrapEvents: true,
		fetchInterval: 120000,
		fade: false,
 		fullDateEventDateFormat: "ddd DD. MMM",
		maximumNumberOfDays: 30,
		maximumEntries: 15,
		maxTitleLength: 50,
		displayRepeatingCountTitle: true,
		fade: false,
		timeFormat: "absolute",
		dateFormat: "ddd DD. MMM - HH:mm",
		dateEndFormat: "ddd DD. MMM - HH:mm",
		showEnd: true,
		joiningWord: "AT", // see help for more information
		maxTitleLength: 500,
		useRelativeDates: false,
		getRelative: 6,
		dayOfWeekFormat: "dddd",
		urgency: 1,
		calendars: [
			{
				symbol: "birthday-cake",
				color: "#a9a9a9", 
				url: "https://NAME:PASSWORD@DOMAIN.TLD/Nextcloud/remote.php/dav/calendars/CALENDARNAME/contact_birthdays?export"
			},
			{
				symbol: "plane ",
				color: "#ffd700", // gold
				url: "https://www.schulferien.org/media/ical/deutschland/ferien_hessen_2019.ics?k=A1phwzkCPxzt2pDVDT3ZeJvHfv9hq0Wo39uxgoplWmpDqdjNn4diAxd9kVfib72HpVThoNV9WGIF3Pjs5BrYIpOZ2F97U0Mbdbo_c3mxjo0"
			},
               		]
	}
},

If I’m wrong, please provide some information enable helpers to help.

@bdream
thank you very much for your answer, I tried to use the link setup with the user and password in the name, but it does not work for me. I also tried to use a public link.
I do not know why my dates do not appear.

Greetings

than start the config as first with only an official calendar as shown in the README.md on GitHub ad default value:

config: {
	colored: false,
	coloredSymbolOnly: false,
	calendars: [
		{
			url: 'http://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics',
			symbol: 'calendar',
			auth: {
			    user: 'username',
			    pass: 'superstrongpassword',
			    method: 'basic'
			}
		},
	],
}

If this don’t work your problem is on other place and as I said in my first post: “If I’m wrong, please provide some information enable helpers to help.”

@kruf so two things to test

with the calendar URL, open a browser on the pi, and put in the URL… it should download the ICS file
if not, u need to solve this part. Mirror does not run as any particular user, so it needs access without
credentials (unless they are part of the actual url)
I helped another user who did some download process, and then use the ics file locally, and had a similar problem. it turned out the ics reader is expecting windows line ends (cr+lf, \r\n), but the file had only unix line ends (lf, \n). so he had to do a unix2dos conversion as part of the download process

I tried your holiday calender in hessen, and it works. The standart calender also works just fine.

kruf

@kruf There is no download, it says "its a webdav interface and you need a client for it.
Do you know how to do the conversion?

url: "https://NAME:PASSWORT@DOMAIN.TLD/Nextcloud/remote.php/dav/calendars/CALENDARNAME/pers%c3%b6nlich?export"

May this help you

@bdream has CALENDERNAME to be changed? Or is the phrase after that important?

All UPPERCASE need to change as your calendar.
Exml for the birthdays from my personal calendar:

url: "https://NAME:PASSWORD@DOMAIN.TLD/Nextcloud/remote.php/dav/calendars/myname/pers%c3%b6nlich?export"

You have to change
NAME -> name you access your calendar
PASSWORD -> your Password
DOMAIN.TLD -> the url where ever you have your domain with nextcloud installed
!!! If you don’t use default installation of nextcloud you might change Nextcloud also!!!
CALENDARNAME -> How you named the calendar (expl.: myname, yourname, yourwivesname, yoursonsname…)

I have different calendars for all people in my family so I have for each calendar diffent NAME, PASSWORD, CALENDARNAME
