"Offline" usage

[nrace87]

Hi, first of all I really like this project, I hope it is exatcly what I am looking for :) I like the "Try it out" thing a lot.
My idea is to let it run in a raspberry pi dashboard thing. I wondered if it is possible to store everything local, so create on this raspberry with an ics and the downloaded configuration a local website displaying the calendar. Specially as the ics may contain quite personal data.

Thanks a lot :)

Hi, yes, the project is intended to work like that.
I personally use Python's http.server to run the tests and provide specifications and calendar ICS files.

Even if the Raspberry Pi is old, it should work with Docker, too.
If you prefer the Python installation, add the pip.conf file.

E.g. if you have these files in a folder /home/pi/calendar/:

• specification.json - the specification file
• calendar.ics - a calendar - TIP: you can export the ICS e.g. from Thunderbird to your local computer or phone and then sync this file with syncthing

Then, I would add a start with crontab -e.

@reboot python3 -m http.server -d /home/pi/calendar/ -b localhost

After this, you can access the calendar and spec without the ICS being exposed to the network at localhost:8000.
E.g. if the open-web-calendar runs at localhost:5000:

http://localhost:5000/calendar.html?specification_url=http://localhost:8000/specification.json

specification.json - you can download a new one after editing the calendar (? at the bottom --> edit calendar)

{
    "url" : "http://localhost:8000/calendar.ics"
}

You can also use other URLs and calendar sources. This works in a network without Internet access and synchronizes the calendar from your device securely as soon as you enter the network via syncthing.

Please let me know about your setup in the end! I am curious!
