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?

You need to use google calendar api to sync back to google. To sync from google calendar to anything, you can use secret address ical format that you can obtain in calendar settings. Go to calendar -> settings -> settings of my calendars -> click on calendar you want and you will see "secret address ical format". you can use this url in any modern calendar software

Thank you for the tip, but this does not allow writing events to the Google Calendar from other clients. Google iCal links, including the secret link, are read only which is the problem I'm trying to solve.
