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 is a fork of [jdoe0/ankisyncd](https://github.com/jdoe0/ankisyncd).
It supports Python 3 and Anki 2.1.

Installing
----------
0. Install Anki. The currently supported version range is 2.1.1〜2.1.7. (Keep in
mind this range only applies to the Anki used by the server, clients can be
as old as 2.0.27 and still work.) Running the server with other versions might
work as long as they're not 2.0.x, but things might break, so do it at your
own risk. If for some reason you can't get the supported Anki version easily
on your system, you can use `anki-bundled` from this repo:
$ git submodule update --init
$ cd anki-bundled
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Keep in mind `pyaudio`, a dependency of Anki, requires Python 3 and PortAudio
headers to be present before running `pip`. If you can't or don't want to
install these, you can try [patching Anki](#running-ankisyncd-without-pyaudio).
1. Install the dependencies:
$ pip install webob
2. Modify ankisyncd.conf according to your needs
3. Create user:
$ ./ankisyncctl.py adduser <username>
4. Run ankisyncd:
$ python -m ankisyncd
Installing (Docker)
-------------------
Follow [these instructions](https://github.com/kuklinistvan/docker-anki-sync-server#usage).
Setting up Anki
---------------
### Anki 2.1
Create a new directory in [the add-ons folder][addons21] (name it something
like ankisyncd), create a file named `__init__.py` containing the code below
and put it in the `ankisyncd` directory.
import anki.sync, anki.hooks, aqt
addr = "http://127.0.0.1:27701/" # put your server address here
anki.sync.SYNC_BASE = "%s" + addr
def resetHostNum():
aqt.mw.pm.profile['hostNum'] = None
anki.hooks.addHook("profileLoaded", resetHostNum)
### Anki 2.0
Create a file (name it something like ankisyncd.py) containing the code below
and put it in `~/Anki/addons`.
import anki.sync
addr = "http://127.0.0.1:27701/" # put your server address here
anki.sync.SYNC_BASE = addr
anki.sync.SYNC_MEDIA_BASE = addr + "msync/"

### AnkiDroid
Advanced → Custom sync server
Unless you have set up a reverse proxy to handle encrypted connections, use
`http` as the protocol. The port will be either the default, 27701, or
whatever you have specified in `ankisyncd.conf` (or, if using a reverse proxy,
whatever port you configured to accept the front-end connection).
**Do not use trailing slashes.**
Even though the AnkiDroid interface will request an email address, this is not
required; it will simply be the username you configured with `ankisyncctl.py
adduser`.
Running `ankisyncd` without `pyaudio`
-------------------------------------
`ankisyncd` doesn't use the audio recording feature of Anki, so if you don't
want to install PortAudio, you can edit `anki-bundled/anki/sound.py` and
`anki-bundled/requirements.txt` to exclude `pyaudio`:
`ed` version:
$ echo '/# Packaged commands/,$d;w' | tr ';' '\n' | ed anki/sound.py
$ echo '/^pyaudio/d;w' | tr ';' '\n' | ed requirements.txt
`sed -i` version:
$ sed -i '/# Packaged commands/,$d' anki/sound.py
$ sed -i '/^pyaudio/d' requirements.txt
Manual version: remove every line past "# Packaged commands" in anki/sound.py,
remove every line starting with "pyaudio" in requirements.txt
