Thanks for the explanation and the help!

I don’t think I fully understand, but I’m following you. I made the change to localhost and everything still works.

Does the same thing apply to the “address” in the config.js?

Thanks for the feedback. I was able to get a sample event to show in the calendar.

When looking at the the config.js, I was thinking that meant of the entire filesystem and not MM install directory (didn’t read that line close enough)

I made the following changes

On hose machine
config.js

url: "http:/0.0.0.0:8080/modules/calendars/1FC43665-307D-4E49-A0C5-914CA52E07EB.ics",

On Docker
~/.vdirsyncer/config

path = "/opt/magic_mirror/modules/calendars/%s.ics"

Ran the following code

vdirsyncer sync --force-delete iCloud_to_MagicMirror/Stuff

vdirsyncer sync

Everything looks good and works! Thank you again for the help

Hi all,

I’m looking for a little guidance here. I’m having issues with displaying iCloud calendar data. When MM loads, the iCloud Calendar module states the following:

Error in the calendar module. Check logs for more details

I’ve tried inspecting the console for any obvious errors and I started investigating using breakpoints. It seems like the MM webpage cannot access the .ics file.

I started with the instructions listed here. I was able to sync with iCloud using vdirsyncer and the .ics file has valid data inside that matches my phone.

On the Docker container (mm)

Calendar directory

/home/node/MagicMirror/modules/calendar

Vdirsyncer config location

/home/node/.vdirsyncer/config

Vdirsyncer config file

# vdirsyncer configuration for MagicMirror.
#
# Move it to ~/.vdirsyncer/config or ~/.config/vdirsyncer/config and edit it.
# Run `vdirsyncer --help` for CLI usage.
#
# Optional parameters are commented out.
# This file doesn't document all available parameters, see
# http://vdirsyncer.pimutils.org/ for the rest of them.

[general]
# A folder where vdirsyncer can store some metadata about each pair.
status_path = "~/.vdirsyncer/status/"

# CALDAV Sync
[pair iCloud_to_MagicMirror]
a = "Mirror"
b = "iCloud"
collections = ["Stuff"]

# Calendars also have a color property
metadata = ["displayname", "color"]

[storage Mirror]
# We need a single .ics file for use with the mirror (Attention! This is really slow on big amounts of events.)
type = "singlefile"
# We'll put the calendar file to a readable location for the calendar module
path = "/home/node/MagicMirror/modules/calendars/%s.ics"

[storage iCloud]
type = "caldav"
url = "https://caldav.icloud.com/"
# Authentication credentials

password = "password"
# We only want to sync in the direction TO the mirror, so we make iCloud readonly
read_only = true
# We only want to sync events
item_types = ["VEVENT"]
# We need to keep the number of events low, so we'll just sync the next month
# Adjust this to your needs
start_date = "datetime.now() - timedelta(days=1)"
end_date = "datetime.now() + timedelta(days=30)"

I had to make a few tweaks for Alpine and they’re listed below.

~/.local/bin/vdirsyncer

is located here

/etc/init.d

I installed OpenRC on Alpine and used OpenRC-Run generator to convert systemd service to openrc

vidrsyncer.timer is located here (I’m not 100% certain about this guy)

/etc/periodic/15min

vidrsyncer.timer file

[Unit]
Description=Synchronize vdirs

[Timer]
OnBootSec=5m
OnUnitActiveSec=15m
AccuracySec=5m

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

vdirsyncer.service is located here

/etc/init.d/

vdirsyncer file

vdirsyncer
