Need help from nextcloud experts:

I set up nextcloud on my pc (win 10) and android and have imported my g-calendar into nextcloud.

My wife and I want to share each other's nextcloud calendars. Tried that with DAVx5 and ICSx5 (worked fine for our individual calendars).

We used the "share subscription link" option.

I can see my wife's webcal in DAVx5 but every time I try to subsribe to it I get this error message:

"Received redirect from https to http"

It might have to with our router. The newest software uses IPV6 and that seems to have issues with https redirects.

We use a fritzbox (don't if that helps as it's a German router) and use our own wifi network.

The calendar app we're trying to sync our calendars with is called fossify (from froid).

How can I fix this?

My wife and I shared your calendars with the Nextcloud share feature. That works with DAVx5.

Does that only work with the desktop version or also on android?
You have to share the calendar in the desktop UI. (Make it editable) Your wife has to accept it, IIRC. And vice versa. Then the other's calendar appears in DAVx5.

But I guess my wife needs to appear as a user in the "Share calendar" window, right?!

That is unfortunately not the case.

instead of using the subscription link, you could share your individual calendars with each others nextcloud accounts from inside nextcloud.

So you just have to import your "own" calendar within davx5 and you get all calendars, that are shared with you.

Maybe this at least avoids the redirect error from the subscription link.

Hope that helps

Does that work via the "internal link" option?

if you open the sharing details of anything in Nextcloud (so on calendars), there will be (95% of the time) a field which asks for user- or group names, which whom you want to share this calendar.

As long as your accounts are on the same instance (which I assume) just type the username of the other person there and select them.

Then in their calendar your shared calendar should be visible as "shared by ...

If your instance is federated, you can also share stuff with accounts/groups on other federated instances, with sth like <username>@instance.tld or so.

I haven't seen this used in practice but it's actually a very powerful feature which I would like to test in the future

I don't think we are on the same instance... although I'm not sure.

Is @mia.nl.tab.digital the instance?

If so, then we're both on it. Cannot add my wife in the user window though. the only other user I can add is admin.

yes, the domain is the instance basically.

Depending on the server settings maybe sharing between accounts is disabled, I didnt think of this earlier, sorry...

Did you make amy progress?
