Selfhosted Calendar Server that works with the G? (lemmy.world)

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?

Give everyone a login to nextcloud and share a nextcloud calendar with everyone, use devx5 on android to inject the calendar into the Google calendar app?

Yea, getng people to do something is a challenge, let alone connecting a calendar to your server.

That's where we should be today, but people really don't understand how this stuff works, and won't even try to learn even if you explain it in simple terms.
