Install

cd <Your MagicMirror directory>/modules
git clone https://github.com/MMRIZE/MMM-CalDAV
cd MMM-CalDAV
npm install

There would be .env (It would be hidden, so you should check it with ls -al or equivalent for your environment/OS)

If not there, copy it from env.example

cp env.example .env

Open your Synology Calendar. You can open it from your Synology Package Center Or installed app lists. Usually it will have http(s)://<IP_OR_URL>:<PORT(5000 or 5001)>/?launchApp=SYNO.Cal.Application as URL so you can open it on the browser.

You will see something like this.

Get the CadDAV account. Copy or memo the URL. Usually URL will have http(s)://<IP_OR_URL>:<PORT_5000_OR_5001>/caldav/ format.

Back to the terminal. Open the .env file with your favourite editor. Then, fulfil these lines.
Then configure the MMM-CalDAV module and the calendar module like this.

Carefully See the configuration of the calendar module.

Then run the MagicMirror.
At the very first execution, some time would be needed for CalDAV calendars to be reflected on the screen. So, just stop the MagicMirror.

If CalDAV calendars would be success to be derived, the log will say something like this.

[2024-09-03 22:52:01.461] [LOG]   [CALDAV] File: SYNOLOGY_test.ics is refreshed.

And there be files to be hosted in the service directory like these;

I have two calendars, My Calendar and test, so there would be 2 hidden ics files generated, service/.SYNOLOGY_My_20Calendar.ics and service/.SYNOLOGY_test.ics.

But the real URL consumed by the calendar module would be http://localhost:8080/CALDAV/SYNOLOGY_test.ics, don’t be confused.

Rerun the MM again. Now on the screen, your hosting calendar will be served.

@MMRIZE said in MMM-CalDAV:

Hi thank you very much for the really fast supply.

the strange thing is that i configured it like you said. but if im running it the magicmirror it is showing me that the “Site is not reachable” (The Synology default page)

if im running MM just without the CALDAV Module it´s working.

I´m running the MM in Docker on the Synology.

MMRIZE

@caw could you show me the capture of error message to know what happened?

caw

@MMRIZE if i´m adding the

 {
		module :"MMM-CalDAV",
		config: {
			servers: [
				{
					envPrefix: "SYNOLOGY_",
					serverUrl: "https://myownsynologyadress.de/caldav/",
			],
		},
	},

following error occurs

following error occurs

???
I cannot understand the context. What did you do? The image seems like that something on the browser.

Does your MagicMirror is executed on the Synology NAS with Docker?

MMRIZE

@caw said in MMM-CalDAV:

{
module :“MMM-CalDAV”,
config: {
servers: [
{
envPrefix: “SYNOLOGY_”,
serverUrl: “https://myownsynologyadress.de/caldav/”,
],
},
},

And you’ve missed a closing brace in your code.

 {
		module :"MMM-CalDAV",
		config: {
			servers: [
				{
					envPrefix: "SYNOLOGY_",
					serverUrl: "https://myownsynologyadress.de/caldav/",
                                 }, // <-- HERE
			],
		},
	},

caw

@MMRIZE yes the image is a screen from the browser. MM is running till i add the Caldav-Module. So i assume I missconfigured something. The missing bracket did not solve the problem in the log:

@caw because you are running in server mode, the version of nodejs matters.

your version is way down level

the ?. syntax shown on line 14 is from the latest js version

caw

@sdetweil thank you very much for the information - but now i have another problem to get it updated can you help me with this?

sdetweil

@caw what environment are you running?

caw

@sdetweil im running the docker container on a Synology NAS

sdetweil

@caw what docker container?

sdetweil

@caw said in MMM-CalDAV:

"https://myownsynologyadress.de/caldav/

https: means you have a certificate for that address and have configured MMM-Caldav to run in secure mode

is that true?

typically one uses mmm-caldav to read from the foreign calendar, and emit ics data for the local machine

and make it available thru a url request (which causes the MMM-Caldav module to provide the data live)

http://mmIP:mmPort/caldav

or shorthand for this same system is (using the default mm port)

http://localhost:8080/caldav

depending on how MM is configured,
address: and ipWhitelist, by default it rejects ALL requests from OUTSIDE systems
so your loop back at - https://myownsynologyadress.de would be rejected…

I use cloudflare to map outside requests to my systems thr a tunnel, so I have https (cert provided by cloudflare) and have reconfigured my MagicMirror to allow any incoming request

address: "0.0.0.0",
ipWhitelist:[],

caw

@sdetweil im running the “container manager” on the nas and the container by bastilimbach installation guide by https://mariushosting.com/how-to-install-magicmirror-on-your-synology-nas/

caw

@sdetweil i used ipv64 to receive a certificate - but for now i dont want to get any caldav from outside or do i missunderstand something?

sdetweil

@caw said in MMM-CalDAV:

bastilimbach

that image is 4 years old, so not running the latest node or MM…

the install doc https://docs.magicmirror.builders/getting-started/installation.html#alternative-installation-methods
references this docker image
https://gitlab.com/khassel/magicmirror

sdetweil

@caw because the ics generated by MMM-Caldav is only needed on this same machine I would use

http://localhost:mmport/CALDAV

in the calendar module.

I am guessing your cert is connected to your internet IP address (ISP router)
which is then port forwarded to the MM machine…

this is an external (from MM’s perspective) request

MM is configured (be default) to be a closed system on the wall, not allowing any external systems to request the MM page (external means outside the machine MM is running on)

caw

@sdetweil i searched for a guide to get the Khassel container running on a Synology NAS but didn’t found anything about it. I tried it by my own but did not work. Do you have a clue how to get it on the Docker on a Synology NAS?

sdetweil

@caw my older 416j only has 512mb storage, not enough room to run docker things

but docker is docker. i thought he specified a compose or command line

see this
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/18952/docker-install-on-synology-nas

caw

@sdetweil @MMRIZE

so i got the khassel image running and i think the calendars are found but i get an error:

[2024-09-05 22:42:56.488] [ERROR] Error: EACCES: permission denied, open ‘/opt/magic_mirror/modules/MMM-CalDAV/service/.SYNOLOGY_Familien_20Kalender.ics’
2024/09/05 22:42:56 stderr [2024-09-05 22:42:56.486] [ERROR] Whoops! There was an uncaught exception…

do you have a clue how to fix this? im irritated by the “20” between Familien_20Kalender.ics thats no part of the calendar name…
