Where should I put a .ics calendar file on a Cloudron server such that it's accessible from the web?

HI!

I've got a script that generates an updated .ics calendar file for me every day. I have a website (Wordpress / Cloudron / my own domain).

I'd like to put the script on the same VPS as Cloudron and run it as a cron job. How should I do this? Where should I put the file such that the script can access it and update it without messing it up, AND it will be accessible via URL?

I just don't 100% understand how Cloudron works and I don't want to mess it up by tinkering with its insides

I could use Wordpress's Media Library feature to upload a single .ics, then ssh into the server, find it on disc, and have the script update it there...?

You can install the surfer app and put the ics file there. Surfer app simply hosts static files. There is also a CLI tool that your cron jobs can run to update the ics file. For the cron job, maybe you can put it in surfer's cron itself (not sure) - https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#cron

That sounds like a great solution, thanks!

When I try to install I see: Manifest error: Unknown property (not in schema) @ /addons/oidc

So there's something in Surfer's manifest my Cloudron doesn't recognize?

@81ewlska Oh, that's a bug in our package. OIDC requires Cloudron 7.5.2. I guess you need to update your Cloudron . Which version are you on?

[81ewlska]

7.2.2 ... hmmm, if it requires 7.5.2 then it obviously hasn't been updating! I will investigate.

@81ewlska 7.2.2 is very old!

Updates have been failing because not enough disk space. Now time to see what can be eliminated...

And/ or time to upgrade to a larger server

There were a bunch of dangling images. Deleted those. Update failed because you no longer use AWS (....lol), but after https://forum.cloudron.io/post/59939
Update is complete. Well, 5 or 10 updates. Hey, everything kept working for years...!

Surfer installed successfully. Thank you for your help!

Note to anyone doing this in the future: the updates will result in a lot of backups (which can be removed via the web interface or at /var/backups) and a bunch of dangling or unused docker images which can be removed with
docker system prune
or
docker system prune -a
