FYI - the INSTALL file is failing the integrity check. I have worked around manually but it would be good if the package was updated.

It looks like the repository has changed some stuff around. So my instructions are probably out of date.

It looks like "ankisyncctl.py" doesn't exist in the default branch anymore. It does however still exist in the "main" branch though.

I tried this only up to getting the server to work (but so far so good) on a fresh copy of manjaro. The steps to getting it to work are:

1. In PKGBUILD change:

git+https://github.com/ankicommunity/anki-sync-server.git

git+https://github.com/ankicommunity/anki-sync-server.git#branch=main

2. manually install the python packages using:

  cd /opt/anki-sync-server
  sudo -u anki-sync-server pip install -r requirements.txt --user

Before you do that though, the version on "protobuf" is too new and throws errors (4.21.2). The one on my machine is "3.19.3" that gets the server to work.

3. copy "ankisyncctl.py" to the root:

 cd /opt/anki-sync-server/ankisyncd_ctl
 sudo -u anki-sync-server cp ankisyncctl.py ..
 cd ..
 sudo -u anki-sync-server ./ankisyncctl.py adduser <whoever>

It should generate some files:

auth.db
collections (directory)
session.db (I believe this comes once you can successfully sign in)

4. it should work from there

 cd /opt/anki-sync-server
 sudo -u anki-sync-server python -m ankisyncd

I'll update the package over the weekend.

You can check the output of the servers by running them in the foreground:

sudo systemctl stop nginx anki-sync-server

then in two terminals:

cd /opt/anki-sync-server
sudo -u anki-sync-server python -m ankisyncd

and

sudo nginx

make sure daemon off; is set in nginx.conf.

If they're working right, you should actually be able to visit them from a regular browser on ports 27701 (nginx) and 27702 (ankisyncd). For example while on the same network, my test setup is on 192.168.1.165. From my windows computer I visit http://192.168.1.165:27701 (and 27702) and I get

<html><head></head><body>Anki Sync Server</body></html>

You'll see corresponding log stuff on the foregrounded processes server side. Also, you actually don't need nginx for http so you can try disabling that for troubleshooting; for mobile use you need https though.

I'll try again, but the only problem I found from rejigging my setup to use the test setup was that I needed to change the anki client's plugin from https to http, and the ip address.

I appreciate the work, but I can't get this to work at all. The manual says that running "sudo -u anki-sync-server ./ankisyncctl.py adduser <username>" inside "/opt/anki-sync-server" should create a username and allow to set a password, but "ankisyncctl.py" isn't in that directory. After copying it from the "_cli" directory to the main directory, running it still doesn't work because the python libraries need to be found. After making the python path accessible, and creating a username and password, and copying the init.py file to the appropriate location, anki still complains of an incorrect username/password pair. Don't know how to get this working.

Any advice would be appreciated.

added, thanks!

Even though the files are included in the git repo, you should still include them in the source array since tools like mkchrootpkg will only copy over the listed sources and not every file.

At least for me, I need to patch those in for it to work.

Here's the full patch I made in case anyone wants it / the maintainer wants to incorporate it:

rats! I was just finishing up work on it and hoping no one would've noticed :P

yeah during testing at that time I was using 27701-27703 for testing the http, https and anki servers and forgot to update those files.

but, I made some changes to this package and it now has:

2 server files (http & https) : https is needed for AnkiDroid in particular
a manpage with instructions for setting up the https server
the ports are now properly set to 27701 for the client plugins :P

give it a spin!

goffi commented on 2022-01-19 19:59 (UTC)

Hello,

I could not do any sync from Anki desktop (anki-bin package) to Anki Sync Server installed with this package, while download was working fine. The issue is the same as https://github.com/ankicommunity/anki-sync-server/issues/108 and I found that the __init__.py file of the plugin was incorrectly using 27702 (Anki Sync Server port directly) instead of 27701 (NGINX proxy), see my comment at https://github.com/ankicommunity/anki-sync-server/issues/108#issuecomment-1016817755. After changing the port for 27701, it's working fine.

Thanks for maintaining this package, once this little issue fixed, it's working well.

I didn't even know that was a thing :P

I'll have to look into that.

edit: it's switched now.

cl0ne commented on 2020-07-08 23:46 (UTC)

What about switching this package to https://github.com/ankicommunity/anki-sync-server?
