WebDAV, CalDAV, and CardDAV
We at Flyn Computing share our calendars and contacts using NextCloud and the CalDAV and CardDAV protocols. The following notes demonstrate the key parts of how to configure a selection of clients to use these services. You should also replace name with your calendar/address book name and password with your password. (We assume that NextCloud exists at the URL https://www.flyn.org/share/, but you could replace this portion of the examples below if you wish to use an NextCloud-based service hosted elsewhere.)
