+ | **UPDATE** I have moved away from python virtualenv as it broke vdirsyncer on almost every os update. I now run vdirsyncer in a docker container based on [[https:// | ||
+ | **caution** this has only been done one-way, so that an external calender which is only changed externally gets regularly synced to owncloud. i haven' | ||

+ | prior to owncloud9 there was a sync script which did exactly that. unfortunately it no longer works with oc9 and the developer has posted that he won't fix it, so we need a new solution. | ||

+ | currently i am using [[https:// | ||

+ | now it's time to configure your vdirsyncer.. in my case i wanted to sync a html read-only source (ical format) to owncloud. here is my config file: | ||

+ | once the config file is written, vdirsyncer needs to be run to initialize the account. as the user who will run vdirsyncer later on run this command: | ||
+ | VDIRSYNCER_CONFIG=/ | ||
+ | now vdirsyncer can be run through cron or manually like this: | ||
