Calendars
Each Amahi server has a calendar server in it.
The publishing URL for the calendar is
http://calendar/
This server is meant to share calendars with other people who can access the server.
Eventually we will have a web interface to the calendar server (accessible through the http://calendar/ URL itself), however, for the time being, you need to use a c alendar program to publish and subscribe as well as set and delete appointments in calendars in the server.
Publishing Calendars
To publish or subscribe to a calendar in this server, you need three things:
- A client calendar program,
- The publishing location or URL, which is: http://calendar/, and
- The calendar name of your choice, typically Home, John, Kids, etc.[* See Note]
Calendar Clients
Calendars can be created with widely available clients such as:
- Apple iCal, for Mac OS X:
- Mozilla Sunbird and Lightning (a perfect calendar companion for Thunderbird), for Windows, Mac and Linux.
Windows Calendar, for Windows Vista.
- Evolution, for Linux
- Kontact, for Linux
- ... and some others. Pretty soon there will also be web-based interfaces.
Note
[*] Some clients, notably Sunbird, may require that the name of the calendar have the ical extension, e.g. Home.ics. You may need to experiment with this until it w
orks. Please add your experiences to this page or add links to it.
Technical Details
Technically, every HDA server has a WebDAV server, commonly used for sharing online calendars as well as other files.
