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 three things:
- The publishing location or URL, which is: http://calendar/, and
- A client calendar program,
- The calendar name of your choice, typically Home, John, Kids, etc.[* See Note]
IMPORTANT: Only one calendar publisher is supported per calendar today.
Publishing URL
The publishing URL for the calendar is http://calendar/<CalendarName>
The <CalendarName>
Some clients, notably Sunbird, may require that the name of the calendar have the ical extension (which is .ics), e.g. Home.ics. You may need to experiment with this until it works. Please add your experiences in this page.
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.
Technical Details
Technically, every HDA server has a WebDAV server, commonly used for sharing online calendars as well as other files.
