I’d like to share my Murena calendar with my wife who’s using a regular Samsung phone, and she’d like to share hers with me. What would be the most straightforward way of doing this?
As far as I’m aware, Murena cloud is just a dedicated Nextcloud instance, isn’t it?
In my selfhosted Nextcloud, I can share my calendar privately with other users on this instance.
Otherwise you can both share access credentials and use the same account.
There’s also the option to share a calendar publically, however that seems to be via web interface only and not via WebDAV.
So you should check whether it is possible in Murena cloud to create sub-users in your space, or if it’s alright for you to share your accoutn with your wife.
Sharing an account is not a good way to do this. It must be two reciprocally shared calendars. If this cannot be done on Murena, then maybe there is some other way to do it. I could try Tuta calendar. We did this on Google previously, but I’m trying to put less stuff on Google.
I agree, so you need a calendar server that support calendar sharing between users.
Nextcloud certainly supports this. On my instance, my wife and me have a personal calender, which is shared read-only to the other.
Not sure if it’s supported by Murena’s instance. Try to create a new account and share to that user.
Actually Nextcloud may also support to share to a remote Nextcloud instance; federation has never worked for me, though.

I have done that:
In the web browser interface of murena.io, go to calendar, edit your existing calendar or create a new one then edit it
Then type your wife’s email address to share that calendar. I have tried successfully to share it with another murena.io account. But I haven’t tried with an external account
But that only works on the web, right? You can’t import the calendar to the calendar app in the phone?
You can import that shared calendar in the telephone 
I forgot if it was automated. Maybe you need to dig once in the following menus:
Account settings→among the three available, choose the one with the email address name only (not contacts, not webmail) → MyAccount/Synthesis of account→Parameters→click on the email address→Now click on CalDAV (center tab)→Press the two sync button at the bottom
The shared calendar should now appear in the telephone of that other account

Which app is this? Is it a specific app my wife should have on her otherwise non eOS phone?
In the account settings of your telephone, so the settings of Android.
As far as I’m aware, Android has dropped CalDAV many years ago.
To access a CalDav resource, such as Nextcloud calendar, you should install DAVx5, which is available as a paid app on Google Play/Aurora/App Lounge or OSS (for free) on F-Droid.
There you can add calendar, contact, and task resources.
You will still need account credentials on the Nextcloud instance that serves that resource.

@jollajo /e/OS has built-in forked davx, calls it “accountmanager”. No need to install it again.
as GabrielT says, create a calendar and copy the subscription link that you send your wife. Google Calendar (web) should be able to subscribe to this, in doubt she needs icsx5. Will look like this:
https://murena.io/remote.php/dav/public-calendars/xyz?export
It’s not automated to update new calendars sadly. At the end of [HOWTO] Use the Calendar App under “Limitations” is a screenshot how to fetch the newly created calendar on your own device. You could also just choose to share your pre-existing personal calendar.
If your wife is using the Samsung Calendar app to interface with a Google Account, those can create external subscribe-able .ics / icalendar urls too. Looks like this:
This link explains how to use the Web Calendar Manager on your side.
In the end you subscribe to your calendars each read-only.

Had the same impulse … but now I presume that was meant for the “regulär Samsung phone” on the other Ende (see initial post)

This seems just too complicated. I think we might just use Tuta calendar instead of Google calendar, that should be simpler as there is a Tuta calendar app my wife can install on her phone. But now I am wondering how I can export my calendar from Murena. Can’t find the export button that should be there, only import? But Murena can’t be locking us in with no export option, I hope?
ah thanks for the clarification @obacht, sorry @jollajo. But it would be just icsx5 that’s needed for the sole reason to subscribe to .ics / icalendar endpoints, not the whole of davx.
You can do intra murena.io calendar sharing if you name the explicit email address btw - Share calendar with other /e/OS users - #2 by tcecyk
it’s pretty involved to share across the silos in any case

@kallekn yes, for common users just installing yet another App is easier than stepping through byzantine menus. “Choose the same silo”? some users create a dedicated 3rd account that is used just by 2 devices.
You can’t see the export button as in the last screenshot shared by GabrielT (lower left)?
I mean, there is no export button for exporting the calendar data to a file, as far as I can see?
EDIT: Sorry, maybe I need new glasses. I do se it now.

However, Tuta calendar was not the solution either, because only paid accounts can share calendars. I have a paid account, but my wife doesn’t have one and doesn’t need one for anything else 
Back to Google?
I get it, but I also don’t. It’s not that complicated to create subscription links each, just takes a bit longer the first time you do it. Screenshots are all there, good luck
Do I understand correctly? I create the subscription link for my Murena calendar in my computer, my wife can then subscribe to my calendar… where? Google calendar on web, not on the phone?
She can create a subscription link on her phone, using the Samsung calendar app? Or did I get it wrong?
you do most generating and adding of the subscription link on the web frontends, those will back-sync to the device but can require handholding
- create murena subscription link (see screenshot) on web → add in google calendar web (will sync to device, solution to this not in this thread)
- create google subscription link (see screenshot) on web → add in murena calendar web upper left behind + (plus) “new subscription from link” → offered on device in Settings → Account → murena → more Settings → webcal tab
an alternative in 1. is the Google counterpart install icsx5 and subscribes to the subscription link from the device and not google calendar web, there’s up and downsides. Up: controls when it is crawled. Down: if multiple devices use the Google account, you’d need to install icsx5 device-by-device
