Calendars

Each Amahi server has a calendar server in it. It is meant to share calendars among the people with access the server.

To publish or subscribe to a calendar, you need two things:

  1. The publishing location or URL, http://calendar/, followed by the calendar name of your choice, such as Home, John, Kids, etc.
  2. A client calendar program

IMPORTANT: Only one calendar publisher is supported per calendar today.

NEW: Outlook synchronization support!

Publishing URL

The publishing URL for the calendar is http://calendar/<CalendarName>
