ics2owncloud.py

This script downloads iCal files and imports them to ownCloud using CalDAV.

Before ownCloud 9.0 I was using something like this to automatically import iCal files. After the rewrite of the calendar app this stopped working. So I had to come up with something else to make Webcal/iCal subscriptions work.

Webcal subsciptions are also being worked on in the official calendar app. Once the functionality is available this script becomes obsolete.

Pull requests welcome!

Requirements

Just make sure the virtualenv command is in $PATH when running ics2owncloud.sh. icalendar and Requests are installed automatically.

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/buzz/ics2owncloud.py.git

Configuration

Configuration file

Create and edit config file:

cp ics2owncloud.ini.example ~/.ics2owncloud.ini

A config file with two entries looks like this:

[DEFAULT]
username: tom
password: 123456
server: https://cloud.example.com/

[import_a]
calendar: calendar_xy
ics_url: https://USER1:[email protected]/index.php/apps/calendar/export.php?calid=6

[import_b]
calendar: facebook
ics_url: https://www.facebook.com/ical/u.php?uid=10000123456789&key=ABCDEFGHIJKL
  • username - ownCloud user
  • password - ownCloud password
  • server - ownCloud server URL
  • calender - ownCloud calendar name
  • ics_url - URL to the ICS file to download (can have username:password format)

Don't forget to protect your config file:

$ chmod 600 ~/.ics2owncloud.ini

Cron job

A cron job comes in handy to periodically import calendars:

$ crontab -e

This runs the script every 30 minutes:

*/30 * * * * /PATH/TO/ics2owncloud.sh >/dev/null
