CalDAV

Beh

after some trying on my Baikal server, I found out, that just the use of the start parameter alone is not working indeed.

However, I was able to get a request, if you add the componentType option to the request URL. You have to filter the type to VEVENT. But thats no problem, because the documentation says, that this is the only working type for export anyway.

So I got valid answers with the following URL scheme (including recognized timestamp):

https://dav.example.com/dav.php/calendars/USERNAME/calendarname?export&start=1490745600&componentType=VEVENT

Hi gentlemen,

I’m sorry to reopen this old topic.
What you are succeeded to do here it’s exactly what I search to do but it doesn’t work on my MagicMirror.

I have a Syno with Baikal (http://ipaddress/baikal/admin)
I have a user (homemagic) with his calendar (default)
My calendarfetcher.js is up-to-date (v2.2.0)

URL I use for :
http://ipaddress/baikal/cal.php/calendars/homemagic/default?export&start= 1514761200&componentType=VEVENT

Work on my android mobile with Caldav Sync Free Beta (PlayStore)
Work on ThunderBird
Doesn’t work on my MagicMirror :'(
My web browser (IE) return an error when I try to export

Someone could help me please :)

@OsCourt I think you need to use dav.php instead of cal.php on newer baikal versions. Also you need to use digest authentication with the calendar module of the mirror. It’s described in the readme of the module.

OsCourt

Thanks @Beh.

I don’t have dav.php file in my baikal folder on my Syno :/
I had already read the readme and I have the digest authentication in the mirror:

config: {
                                calendars: [
                                        {
                                                symbol: "calendar-check-o ",
                                                url: 'http://ipaddress/baikal/cal.php/calendars/homemagic/default?export&start=1514761200&componentType=VEVENT',
                                                auth: {
                                                       user: "homemagic",
                                                       password: "pass",
                                                       method: "digest"
                                                      }
                                        },
                                ]
                        }

Hi @poekel,

How have you installed baikal on your Syno ?

@Beh

Since sometime my calendar will not start. It keeps saying “loading”

Does anyone have an idea to solve this ?

Dear all,

it definitely sounds interesting to have Baikal-calenders on a MM as well.
I am using Baikal (0.2.7, for my understanding the most recent version) on Synology for some time already now.
By defnition i have the old-style path like http://MYSYNO/baikal/cal.php/calendars/USER/default/.
To export any .ics-files for my understanding i will need to add the export plugin.
How can i add this to Baikal on Synology or should this already be integrated in version 0.2.7?
If not how can i update to any other version for Synology to enable this function?

After some testing this is how i got it working:
Add the Export-Plugin to Baikal:
Edit cal.php
near the end of the file add to the plugins:
$server->addPlugin(new \Sabre\CalDAV\ICSExportPlugin());
Edit card.php
near the end of the file add to the plugins:
$server->addPlugin(new \Sabre\CardDAV\VCFExportPlugin());

URL in the web browser (i.e. Magic Mirror):
http(s)://SERVER/baikal/cal.php/calendars/USER/default?export
http(s)://SERVER/baikal/card.php/addressbooks/USER/default?export
No additional parameters needed, if you want you can as described earlier in this thread…

Hoping to get some up-to-date help with getting a self-hosted baikal (container) server on to my MagicMirror.
I am currently seeing “Error in the calendar module. Authorization failed” which points to user/password.
Config looks like:

{
module: "calendar",
header: "family calendar",
position: "top_left",
config: {
              calendars: [
                                 {
                                  url: "https://mydomain.tld/dav.php/calendars/family/default/',
                                  auth:   {
                                               user: 'user',
                                               pass: 'pass',
                                               method: 'basic'
                                                }
                                   }
                                   ],
              maximumEntries: 5
              }
},

I’ve had a play with ?export and &start flags but still getting the auth error.

Anyone have any recent success with a local baikal container?

Thank you for the help,
Matt
