       Dear Internet hivemind, I have a tech problem. I use nextcloud as my calendar. I get a lot of ics files these days, via email, or from web pages where I signup for events. I want to get the ics files into my nextcloud calendar without it being annoying. I think it should be simple to solve, but somehow, it isn't. I don't find any good answers how I might do that. Maybe I'm googling for the wrong terms. 🧵

       Ultimately, what I want is some scriptable tool that I can run - either locally or on the server - that takes an ics file and puts it into the calendar. Either something that utilizes nextcloud's commandline stuff, or a web API. I *think* this could be done with caldav. Which is, as far as I understand, a way other applications can interact with a calendar application like nextcloud. Yet: How excatly would I do that?

       Assuming I neither want to learn how to parse ics files or how caldav works internally. Isn't there any tool that takes an ics file and uploads it to a caldav-capable calendar? Or am I thinking wrong, and I should solve my problem in a different way? How? Can anyone point me to a howto/doc/blogpost that is simple and explains how to do that?
