NextCloud/Pain points/Mac-Caldav

NextCloud's Calendar is great handy, but the documentation leaves much to be desired...

Specifically, I've run into issues getting the calendar to sync with Mac OS X.

Here are the steps to get to syncing...

1. restart your mac
2. open your NextCloud calendar
3. click "Setting & Import" on the lower left
4. scroll down
5. "Copy iOS/macOS CalDAV address"
6. paste this address to a test editor
7. split the address into 2 segments
   • protocol + location
   • /remote.php/dav/principals/users/Template:YourUserNameHere/
8. open the Calendar app
9. open preferences
10. add "Other CalDAV Account..."
11. pick advanced
12. fill the fields
    • user
    • password
    • "Server Adress:" =protocol + location
      
    • "Server Path:" =/remote.php/dav/principals/users/{{YourUserNameHere}}}/
    • Port: 443
    • Use SSL: yes
