Birthdaze is a tool to generate a calendar of your contacts’ birthdays from a CardDAV server account.

Installation

Note Birthdaze relies on the curb gem, which requires libcurl4-openssl-dev to be installed.

Setup

You’ll need a config file in the ~/.config/birthdaze.yaml that looks like the below:

username: <username>
password: <password>
url: <url>
