ankisyncd
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
A personal Anki sync server (so you can sync against your own server rather than
|
|
AnkiWeb). This version has been simplified to remove some dependencies.
|
|
|
|
Installing
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
### Manual installation
|
|
|
|
1. First, you need to install "virtualenv". If your system has easy_install,
|
|
this is just a matter of:
|
|
|
|
$ easy_install virtualenv
|
|
|
|
If your system doesn't have easy_install, I recommend getting it!
|
|
|
|
2. Next, you need to create a Python environment for running ankisyncd and
|
|
install some of the dependencies we need there:
|
|
|
|
$ virtualenv ankisyncd.env
|
|
$ ankisyncd.env/bin/easy_install webob simplejson
|
|
|
|
3. Download and install libanki. You can find the latest release of Anki here:
|
|
|
|
http://code.google.com/p/anki/downloads/list
|
|
|
|
Look for a *.tgz file with a Summary of "Anki Source". At the time of this
|
|
writing that is anki-2.0.11.tgz.
|
|
|
|
Download this file and extract.
|
|
|
|
Then either:
|
|
|
|
a. Run ```make install```, or
|
|
|
|
b. Copy the entire directory to /usr/share/anki
|
|
|
|
4. Copy the example.ini to production.ini and edit for your needs.
|
|
|
|
5. Create authentication database:
|
|
|
|
$ sqlite3 auth.db 'CREATE TABLE auth (user VARCHAR PRIMARY KEY, hash VARCHAR)'
|
|
|
|
6. Create user:
|
|
|
|
$ ./ankisyncctl.py adduser <username>
|
|
|
|
7. Then we can run ankisyncd like so:
|
|
|
|
$ ./ankisyncctl.py start
|
|
|
|
To stop the server, run:
|
|
|
|
$ ./ankisyncctl.py stop
|
|
|
|
### Via PKGBUILD
|
|
|
|
There's PKGBUILD available for Arch Linux. To install, simply run:
|
|
|
|
$ wget https://codeload.github.com/jdoe0/ankisyncd-pkgbuild/zip/master
|
|
$ unzip master
|
|
$ cd ankisyncd-pkgbuild-master
|
|
$ makepkg -s
|
|
$ sudo pacman -U *.xz
|
|
|
|
Configuration file is at /etc/ankisyncd/ankisyncd.conf
|
|
|
|
To start the server run:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo systemctl start ankisyncd
|
|
|
|
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_URL = 'http://127.0.0.1:27701/sync/'
|
|
|
|
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.
