"Share"/Sync the Calendar between two laptops via Unison on Linux: how to sync just the calendar?

I've just set up Unison on my Linux PC and I'd like to sync just the calendar, as the emails are synced via the email providers.

But I can't figure out where the calendar data is actually stored. Is it the stuff in .thunderbird/<profile>/calendar-data? Because I can't find any indication there that my calendar entries are in there.

Thanks :)

calendar data is ultimately stored in a database. It is not designed for local random syncronisation attempts. You will probably have to wait for Thunderbird sync or use a caldav server.

But when I synced the whole .thunderbird profile it worked. I just saw that there were lots of clashes in the sync process so I wanted to narrow it down to a particular folder. Where is the database? Can't I just sync that?
