Sync private iCloud calendar with MagicMirror

[bgz]

Hi Beh

Sorry if I´m too newbie… I´m following your step-by step and I get stuck in one place…

When creating a config file, I type:

 touch ~/.vdirsyncer/config

and I get:
Can´t do ‘touch’ on ‘/home/pi.vdirsyncer/config’: The file or directory doesn´t exist

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Hey, @bgz! No problem, I’m glad to help if I have time for that :)

first: the path should be /home/pi/.vdirsyncer/config you forgot the slash after “pi”

additionally, it seems, that the folder does not exist. Please make sure, that the folder .vdirsyncer exists in your user’s home directory. You can create it by typing mkdir .vdirsyncer when you are inside the home directory

Hi Beh.

For some reason I have no .vdirsyncer directory under /home/pi/

Any ideas?

Thanks for your patience.

@bgz Please read answers carefully. If it doesn’t exist, just create it. I described the creation in my last answer.

@Beh Hi Beh, great work it’s a little bit tricky but it works fine on my side. One additional Information. I got an error by syncing after modification of an event on iCloud side. Therefore is necessary to modify the conflict_resolution in the config file as described here: https://vdirsyncer.pimutils.org/en/stable/config.html#pair-section

I added this section in my configuration:

CALDAV Sync

[pair iCloud_to_MagicMirror]
a = “Mirror”
b = “iCloud”
collections = [“65CFC60E-8888-4B7A-B8DB-0043A969A041”]
conflict_resolution = “b wins”

after first sync…

pi@pi_mirror:/etc/systemd/user $ /usr/bin/vdirsyncer sync
Syncing iCloud_to_MagicMirror/65CFC60E-8888-4B7A-B8DB-0043A969A041
Doing conflict resolution for item 247C105F-156B-41DC-B1D6-BFDB7C753BDC…

second sync imports the modified event in my .ics file

have a nice Day!

@bgz Good morning Create an “hidden” folder by command mkdir .vdirsyncer, and check it by command ls - lisa

Also you have to create first the file, it does not exist, so first create it following the path said by Beh and inside the folder create the file

@Beh: First I want to thank you for this tutorial! Great job!

It syncs my iCloud calender fine, but not birthdays which are placed from the contacts app.

Can someone advice me?

Thanks in advance!
