Overview

Linkal

Build Status made-with-rust built with nix GitHub repo size Lines of code

Linkal is a public-calendar aggregator server. Given a set a public calendars links, it can make a CalDav client believe all these calendars are part of the same calendar collection. It makes it easy to source public calendars from multiples users and locations and easily distribute them to your end user. It works by exposing the same endpoints as a real CalDav server, emulating responses when needed and otherwise forwarding the requests to the upstream servers.

Usage

⚙️ Configuration

Linkal is configured using a json file describing your calendars. The file has to follow this structure :

{
  "calendars": {
    "https://calendar1.link/public-calendar/path": {
      "name": "Calendar 1 name",
    },
    "https://calendar2.link/public-calendar/path": {
      "name": "Calendar 2 name",
      "color": "#c63b52",
    }
  }
}

The calendars have to be public. Linkal does not perform any authentification. The color field is optional. If provided, the color of the calendar will be overriden by Linkal. This is useful if several of the calendars you're aggregating have the same color.

Running

linkal --calendar-file <FILE>

This command will start the Linkal Server on port 8443. It is recommanded that you host Linkal behind a reverse proxy with https enabled (like Nginx for example).

Add a linkal calendar in a CalDav client

To add a linkal aggregated calendar to your client, use as url either the ip/url of your server with port 8443 or the url that is set in your reverse proxy. The id and password that your client is asking can be set with any value.

Supported clients are :

  • ✅ Thunderbird
  • ✅ Apple calendar

⚠️ Some clients may need you to go to advanced options and hard set the port of the service, which would be 443 if you run Linkal behind a reverse proxy with https enabled.

If your calendar client is supported and not on this list, please open a pr/issue. If your favorite calendar client is not supported, open an issue.

🚧 Roadmap

Linkal is in development phase and can be succeptible to bugs. Identified elements for upcoming developments are :

  • Parallel requests to answer to /cals requests
  • Improve the auto discovery of the service
  • More abstract handling of propfind requests
  • More reasonable format of the config file
  • Allowing to override more calendar fields
  • Ability to serve multiple calendar collections
  • Better support of the RFC 4791 (Long term)
  • Filtering protocol, if possible actionnable from the calendar client or a web interface (Long term)
  • Supporting private calendars with auth en both sides

  • [BUG] webcal link from leagueathletics.com does not seem to work

    [BUG] webcal link from leagueathletics.com does not seem to work

    Linkal looks like just what I've been thinking about building for myself.

    When I try to set it up with a calendar hosted on leagueathletics.com, I can't get it to work.

    Here's my configuration

    ❯ cat calendars.json

    {
  "calendars": {
    "webcal://www.LeagueAthletics.com/Feeds/ICal/?teams=1031498&org=arlingtonlittleleague.org": {
      "name": "Fall 2022 Majors Royals"
    }
  }
}

    When I then start linkal by running

    ❯ cargo run -- --calendar-file calendars.json
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.26s
     Running `target/debug/linkal --calendar-file calendars.json`

    it appers to start with no errors. When I connect to it with the Mac OS calendar program, it tells me no calendars are available, and cadaver tells me

    ❯ cadaver http://localhost:8443/
dav:/> ls
Listing collection `/': collection is empty.

    No further messages are printed to linkal's stdout/stderr.

    I suspect I'm either missing something that should be obvious to me or just trying to use this for the wrong thing altogether.

  • Highjacking requests

    Highjacking requests

    For requests that are forwarded to the upstream server, some highjacking has to be made to eleminate wrong urls. These seem to confuse the Apple Calendar App.

  • Abstract handling of propfind requests

    Abstract handling of propfind requests

    Propfind requests are handled using static strings and do not correspond to what the caldav client is requesting, which is creating undefined behaviours. Parsing the propfind requests and generating the correct responses is the way forward here to support more clients.

    [FEATURE] Caldav server detection

    The supported clients have server detection = some kind of autoconfiguration. This is not always working very well and should be improved to provide ease of configuration.
