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:

  1. A client calendar program,
  2. The publishing location or URL, which is: http://calendar/, and
  3. 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/

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 calendar program to publish and subscribe as well as set and delete appointments in calendars in the server.

Calendar Clients

Calendars can be created with widely available clients such as:

Note on Calendar named

[*] Some clients, notably Sunbird, may require that the name of the calendar have the ical extension 9whic, 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.
