OwnCloud integration

Shampooman

Hello,
I would also like to sync the MM with my owncloud calendar. The bad news is, that you need a username and a password for the owncloud ical file. I didn’t find an option to enter a user and password in the MM-Modul. So I tried to do a workaround (this project is my first expirience with JS, so it’s pretty hard for me to understand.) I found a little bash script to download the ical file to my homefolder. But I can’t enter the homefolder location with the MM-Modul. Perhaps someone has a good idea to do this job. :)

#!/bin/bash
ical=‘http://ownclouddomain.de/remote.php/caldav/calendars/admin/blubb?export’
dir=/home/pi/
user=‘admin’
pw=‘blablabla’
curl $ical -u$user:$pw > $dir’MYical.ics’

I found another important information. It’s still very dirty, and everyone who knows how to do something like this will just laugh about me, but I got a working way to import my owncloud calendar. I just changed the directory to /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar/public
and added the following to the config.js:

                    config: {
                            calendars: [
                                    {
                                            symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
                                            url: 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/calendar/MYical.ics'
                                    }
                            ]
                    }

this is my bash script now:

#!/bin/bash
ical='http://ownclouddomain.de/remote.php/caldav/calendars/admin/blubb?export’
dir=/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar/public
user='admin’
pw=‘blablabla’
curl $ical -u$user:$pw > $dir’MYical.ics’

so you only have to make a cronjob now, which starts the bash script.

I hope this helps someone, even if it is very, very dirty… :)

Why not do username:password@yourdomain.com in the config?

@paviro said in OwnCloud integration:

Why not do username:password@yourdomain.com in the config?

because it doesn’t work. :) I got this Error in the console:
logger.js:23 Calendar Error. Could not fetch calendar: user:password@myowncloud.de/remote.php/caldav/calendars/user/calendar?export

Can you try executing curl -L http://user:password@myowncloud.de/remote.php/caldav/calendars/user/calendar?export in a shell?

Shampooman

hmmm… that works…

Shampooman

ok, now it works completly. Perhaps I had a mistake inside my code. Thank you for your help!

@Shampooman do you have this publicly anywhere? I have a bash script that does something I want an MMM to do but have no idea how to get it working and it looks to me thats what you are doing.
Thanks

I can make the curl call work, adding a -k to it, to get around the certificate.
Can I do something similar in the module ?
Thanks.

I`m using NextCloud and i figured it out using the following config

           {
                    module: "calendar",
                    header: "username",
                    position: "top_left",
                    config: {
                        calendars: [
                           {
                             symbol: "calendar-check-o ",
                             url: "https://username:app_password@nexctcloud.domain.nl/remote.php/dav/calendars/username/8a757113-03ae-4d7a-a6a1-8db4350eee54_shared_by_username?export"
                            }
                         ]
		}
	},

I got the calander name from the webinterface by clicking on the dots right behind the specific calender.

Note: I am using a dedicated user to login to nextcloud. This user is recieving the “shared” calanders from the actual users. In this way i don`t need to login with my own nextcloud credentials
