Hey peeps, I need ideas please: My setup - GrapheneOS (ETAR as Calendar/ synch with Baikal-Server via DAVX5) -Baikal (CalDav/CaDav) Birthday dates are not extracted from contacts into ETAR Calendar. I don't want to use bloated NextCloud. Any suggestion for my setup, so I can see the birthdays from my contacts in my ETAR Calendar on any device I sync? I'm willing to change parts of my setup, if it's not bloatware ยง8-) Thanks for any help ๐Ÿ˜˜ #freeBSD #openbsd #bsd #linux #opensource #foss

    Allright...thinking around the corner, here comes a solution: I use Thunderbird. Installed CardBook, which has a function to extract BDays and others events, and writes it to Lighning Calendar of Thunderbird. You can choose which Cal. gets the snyc. And bc. this Lightning Cal. I chose is the Baikal one, it get's updated in Baikal Server Cal. and hence in all other subscribed Calendars. ๐Ÿ˜Ž Happy new week folks & tnx again for your engagement to help me. ๐Ÿ–– :underheart:

  • @mudala@mastodon.social Hey, I use grapheneos with davx and fossify calendar. The birthdays are displayed in the calendar and are saved on the remote server. I don't have any local contacts. So it works. Maybe you have to activate the "birthdays from contacts" in your calendar app. Normally you see the birthdays in your contacts app.
