So, I've got a homelab thing going, with NextCloud and Immich and other things... using Docker. But the one thing I can't seem to wrap my head around is how to get my calendar needs met behind the scenes. I'm hoping there's some sort of calendar syncing server I can use.

The problem: I use NextCloud and another android app to use my calendar. Easy. Historically, my household has used a single Google Calendar shared amongst members.

The real problem: They won't ditch Google. But I need a solution so that I can:

  1. Sync their calendar events to my NextCloud calendar.
  2. Sync my calendar events to their Google Calendar. I think that the issue here is, the share links that the calendars give, can only be used to list a new separate calendar on each of the respective platforms - not sync the events between the existing calendars...

I'm hoping that there's maybe a syncing solution out there that can play middle man and sync the two calendars directly, rather than having separate calendars for the two environments?

@KingDingbat I don't have a good answer for you (I'm in a similar situation, with my wife stuck using both google calendar and microsoft's extremely shitty calendar, while I use radicale). However, depending upon your goals for self-hosting your calendar, I'd ask whether you really want google seeing your calendar entries. If your goal is independence, then fine. If one of your goals is privacy, then sharing your calendar entries w/ google messes that up.

    Hahah hello friend. No, I don't want Google to have my calendar entries. I'm just trying to achieve baby steps peacefully with the family. If it were my choice, we'd cut off Google without a second thought, but ooooh no. We've been using Google Calendar for 20 years. We don't WANT to change. 🙄
