Two-way sync between Obsidian and CalDAV servers

[davish]

Generated from #1.

Events are stored as Notes in Obsidian and kept in sync with a selected Google Calendar. This will likely be a pretty involved and large project involving OAuth and the GCal API. Strategies for resolving conflicts between the local Obsidian copy and the Google Calendar copy of an event will need to be fleshed out.

This would be AMAZING!

Will buy you lots of coffee if you figure out this one!

What is current state of GCal sync via oauth?

[davish]

Renamed this issue thanks to the research by @dojoteef into the CalDAV protocol.

Came a across it the other day. Only real device level integration with a CalDav client/server connection is done via android, otherwise you need to run a dav server like Radicle.

@davish I'd love to help you out on this feature.

is there any plan about remote events. I can't edit google calendar events.

[FelixBrakel]

Not sure if you're already aware of this but it seems someone has made a plugin with full CRUD functionality for GCal.

Might be a useful starting point for adding similar features to this plugin.

I have been experimenting with VdirSyncer (https://github.com/pimutils/vdirsyncer) as a local client that breaks up contacts and events into a file directory with built in database-style management and sync capabilities.

As it directly touches the files, this may be a good option for a desktop system. Full calender would just need to monitor the file directory where a the ics changes would be push/pulled to. If it can work with the multi-ics file structure of vdirsyncer (which I think is better for note-level integration and composability) then a lot of issues associated with file conflicts could be resolved (less potential collisions from the sync side).

Two way sync would be an amazing feature! Just to put it out there, at least for android, Dav5x is used even for bigger things such as nextcloud. Keep up the amazing work 😄
