@scooke nice !
-
I just spotted this:
https://github.com/calcom/docker -
@jdaviescoates just needs Postgres nice and simple
-
@robi they are working through the CalDAV issues too (although last I tried it was already working well with Nextcloud)
-
1.5 is out, they've releaed an API for enterprise customers and pro users, and raised $25m

I've been working on a package but I'm a bit stuck
Do you have your wip uploaded somewhere? I just rediscovered cal.com and would like to give it a spin. Would have started an app of my own, but its always easier to test and improve.
-
@fbartels not yet, because I think you have to build the thing after adding the environment variables and that's a tricky task on the read-only fs. I did take a look at the Dockerfile, which might make it more convenient, but haven't had time yet to copy and try it out
-
@fbartels I'm about to give up, just checked where cal.com wants to write during the yarn process and there are many many folders. The Dockerfile their community provides is also no help, since the URL needs to be supplied during build, which doesn't work in Cloudrons case. So yea, the current status is pretty useless to improve from
-
@msbt thanks! but my day has been just ruined
-
@chetbaker hopefully @fbartels will give it shot and have more luck!
-
@chetbaker there are people around that can do better when it comes to Docker images, that's just not one of my specialities.
-
+1 for Cal.com/calendso
-
Would really, really love this addition.

In case people didn't notice it, there is also this more general thread:
https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/6853/calendar-applications-review -
I'll have to take a look at those alternatives, Cal.com was the first open-source one I found and had up and running to test out and found it pretty awesome and could replace a WordPress plugin. The biggest downside to it that I found was that it's customization is limited. As an example, if I wanted to change the colors, I'd have to create a theme and open source it, etc... kind of a hassle. However, the dark mode was acceptable for my needs and it had webhooks, etc which means integrations are limited to your imagination. Until then, I'm using TidyCal that I bought from AppSumo as a LTD that works pretty well for being what it is.
-
I've been using the hosted version of this and I really like it.
Hoping a Cloudron button will be added here soon
-
I've just created this "It's not yet possible to deploy Cal on Cloudron" issue on their github, chime in!
-
@jdaviescoates / @girish - Thank you!!
-
@jdaviescoates That was a well phrased post. It looks like it is gaining some responses.
-
Definitely excited about this possibility!
-
The latest comment I see is that they don't plan to support Cloudron, but they open to merge it in, if someone will do the job of integrating, unfortunately.
-
@potemkin_ai yeah, hoping they'd package it for us was a bit hopeful, but still worth putting it out there imho
Hopefully someone else will take a look.

@msbt
Hi, I would like to take a look at this. I recently built my own N8N instance. And would really like to get cal.com running on cloudron.Could you share more of your work in progress?
-
@roofboard Ohhh... I like your n8n changes! I have a couple questions if you don't mind. I'll send you message.
-
@thetomester13 What is the connection between Calendso and Cal.com? Is Calendso just a community edition / Free Software version of Cal.com?
-
@LoudLemur no, cal.com is the new name for calendso
-
Hello folks, anyone with some news on this? They just released version 2.0
-
Would love to have this as well. Please make it happen
-
@mabaker @chetbaker I am working on this happy to join up and hack together on it. If you wanna hack on this with me just set a time on my calendar and we can work on it. https://short.draglabs.com/cal
-
@roofboard I’m not a developer, but happy to test out when there’s any unstable self hosted implementation.
-
@roofboard great news, thanks! Hopefully @staff or @appdev can help out too!
-
Would love to see support for Cal.com as well!
-
I have made some progress here apparently calcom needs access to a database while running yarn build, and while running yarn it would be writing to /app/code
So I created a temporary database so long as you build this on a server with access to postgres this will work. The only problem is that I cannot figure out why it is stuck on localhost:3000 as opposed to accepting the new dns settings
https://git.draglabs.com/davidjstrom/cloudron-calcom-v2/-/tree/localhost-issue
@girish
Any thoughts? -

Your work looks very promising! Unfortunately, there is not much feedback I can provide from the technical perspective.

@girish
Any thoughts?Thanks for working on this! Cal.com now works really well with Nextcloud calendar (I'm using the hosted service) so it'd be absolutely fantastic to have it on Cloudron!
Hopefully @staff can take a look at this package @roofboard has started and help get it finished up and into the app store!
-
Let's get this across the finish line! A decent scheduling alternative will be huge!
From what I can tell one of us just needs to:
- successfully complete a docker build (looks like @roofboard has made a start, well done
) - add the cloudron packaging files
I'm knew to this game, but it seems like we should then send a pull request to the main cal.com repo -- why not just stick with the primary repository on this one?
(
thanks to @jdaviescoates 's github issue, they've stated their friendly to having this available on cloudron)
- successfully complete a docker build (looks like @roofboard has made a start, well done
-
@roofboard re: "I cannot figure out why it is stuck on localhost:3000 as opposed to accepting the new dns settings" --
can you provide further details on the problem you've run into? Is this when you're just trying to get it to run on docker on your local machine? or when deploying as a custom cloudron app? I'm unclear what the status is.Some further elaboration might help us or @girish troubleshoot. If it's not cloudron specific, let's get a thread going with cal.com if we need to.
-
@tshirt-chihuahu thank you for being so enthusiastic about this one!

Just a quick update from me....I did an initial test using cal.com (hosted by them) and their CalDAV integration with NextCloud, and it failed some of my required use case tests (recurring invites were buggy.....although it looks like one of the use cases may have been fixed already, so this means progress is being made....and I may need to re-test soon).
So this isn't quite high enough priority for me to mess with getting the deployment on Cloudron figured out since it can't quite solve my use case yet....
However, if you want this to progress, here's what I suggest:
- start using/testing a hosted cal.com account
- since you likely don't want to hand them your main login credentials, if you're using NextCloud, you can make a separate "scheduler" user, and then share that calendar with your main calendar. (NextCloud seems to have gotten much better at this.) Or...just make a test account and try it.
- post issues and talk back to the cal.com team.
The Cal team has a CalDAV integration issues roundup here you can check, comment on, prior to posting additional issues that you run into: https://github.com/calcom/cal.com/issues/3457 -
@tshirt-chihuahu yeah, I've been using the hosted version for a while now and I really like it!
For my use cases at least their integration with Nextcloud now works great after they ironed out various issues, so I'd love to be able to easily selfhost it on Cloudron as is!
