ankisyncd

Anki is a powerful open source flashcard application, which helps you quickly and easily memorize facts over the long term utilizing a spaced repetition algorithm. Anki's main form is a desktop application (for Windows, Linux and macOS) which can sync to a web version (AnkiWeb) and mobile versions for Android and iOS.

This is a personal Anki server, which you can sync against instead of AnkiWeb. It was originally developed to support the flashcard functionality on Bibliobird, a web application for language learning.

This version has been modified from dsnopek's Anki Sync Server to remove the REST API, which makes it possible to drop some dependencies.

Installing

Install the dependencies:
```
 $ pip install webob
```

Patch the bundled libanki:

 $ (cd anki-bundled && git apply ../libanki.patch)

Modify ankisyncd.conf according to your needs
Create user:
```
 $ ./ankisyncctl.py adduser <username>
```

Run ankisyncd:

 $ python ./ankisyncd/sync_app.py ankisyncd.conf

Setting up Anki

To make Anki use ankisyncd as its sync server, create a file (name it something like ankisyncd.py) containing the code below and put it in ~/Anki/addons.

import anki.sync

anki.sync.SYNC_BASE = 'http://127.0.0.1:27701/'
anki.sync.SYNC_MEDIA_BASE = 'http://127.0.0.1:27701/msync/'

Replace 127.0.0.1 with the IP address or the domain name of your server if ankisyncd is not running on the same machine as Anki.
