# Anki Sync Server

This project sets up an Anki synchronization server in a Docker environment, making it easy to host your own Anki synchronization service.

## Features

- Dockerized Anki Sync Server.
- Entry point script for the server to facilitate user configuration.
- systemd service file for ease of management and auto-start of the Anki sync service.
- Installation script for automated setup.
- Sample environment file to set configurations.

## Prerequisites

- Docker
- Docker Compose
- Git

## Installation

1. Clone this repository:
   ```bash
   git clone https://git.rudefox.io/bj/anki-sync-server.git /var/lib/anki-server
   cd /var/lib/anki-server
   ```

2. Run the installation script (with root privileges):
   ```bash
   sudo ./install.sh
   ```

3. Remember to set up the necessary environment variables in the `.env` file.
   - For a quick start, a `sample.env` file has been provided.

4. Ensure that the `data` directory is created and has the appropriate permissions:

   ```bash
   mkdir data
   ```

5. Start the service:

   ```bash
   systemctl start anki-sync-server
   ```

   To enable auto-start on boot:

   ```bash
   systemctl enable anki-sync-server
   ```

## Configuration

Most of the server's configurations are managed through the `.env` file. After the initial setup, ensure to modify this file according to your requirements.

Here are some key environment variables:

- `ANKISYNCD_DATA_ROOT`: Path to the data root directory inside the container.
- `ANKISYNCD_AUTH_DB_PATH`: Path to the authentication database.
- `ANKISYNCD_SESSION_DB_PATH`: Path to the session database.
- `SYNC_USERS`: Users for the synchronization server.
- `ANKI_PORT`: Port on which the Anki server should run.
- `ANKI_VOLUME_PATH`: Local path for the volume storage.

### Username and Password Configuration

1. Inside the `.env` file, locate the `SYNC_USERS` variable.
2. Enter the desired usernames and passwords in the format: `username:password`.
   - For multiple users, separate them with a comma: `user1:pass1,user2:pass2`.
3. Save the changes and restart the Anki sync service.

## Maintenance

- **Backup**: Ensure to backup your `data` directory regularly.
- **Updates**: To update the service, pull the latest changes from the repository and restart the service.
