Description

  • Your vdirsyncer version: 0.16.3
  • If applicable, which server software (and which version) you're using: Nextcloud 12.0.4.3
  • Your Python version: 3.6.4
  • Your operating system: Arch linux
  • Please tell me if this is the case to also post the config file and vdirsyncer -vdebug output.

Hello, I'm asking this because davdroid for instance is able to detect my webcals set on nextcloud, so I would like that also happened on vdirsyncer. It seems to me that today the only way of achiving something close is adding the webcal also in vdirsyncer config as a read-only storage, is that correct?

Research direction

Start by tracing the DAV discovery entry point and how vdirsyncer reads storage configuration. Compare the discovery response for Nextcloud subscribed calendars with the calendars currently detected, then verify that webcals are discovered as read-only calendars without requiring manual configuration.
