This page describes the import of ICal calendar files into Kopano via thekopano-ical gateway.
| Info |
|---|
| Ical will handle all timestamps in the .ics as GMT. Remember this if your appointments dont start at the correct time. |
For the import of the ICal ics files we will use curl. The curl package will be installable on most linux distributions via the default repositories.On Centos/Redhat:
| Code Block |
|---|
$ yum install curl |
On Ubuntu/Debian:
| Code Block |
|---|
$ apt-get install curl |
With curl you are able to import ICal ics files into Kopano Core. Before you do this, you need to make sure that the kopano-ical service is started:
| Code Block |
|---|
$ /etc/init.d/kopano-ical status |
The kopano-ical service runs on port 8080 by default. You can change these settings in /etc/kopano/ical.cfg. In this document we will use the default settings.
Now you can import ics files to the users default calendar using curl:
| Code Block |
|---|
# curl -u [username]:[password] -T [path to ics file] http://[kopano-ical-server]:8080/ical/[username] |
You can also import to users default calendar using a kopano-admin user:
| Code Block |
|---|
# curl -u [kopano-admin user]:[password] -T [path to ics file] http://[kopano-ical-server]:8080/ical/[username] |
If you want to import calendars to different calendars then the default calendar, use:
| Code Block |
|---|
# curl -u [username]:[password] -T [path to ics file] http://[kopano-ical-server]:8080/ical/[username]/[calendar name]/ |
Or if you want to import to a subfolder of a yet existing calendar (in the next example we import to a subfolder of a calendar named "Calendar"):
| Code Block |
|---|
# curl -u [username]:[password] -T [path to ics file] http://[kopano-ical-server]:8080/ical/[username]/Calendar/[calendar name] |
