Connects Anki to a Transcrobes installation, with further setup details available on the Transcrobes website.
Automates Ankiβs built-in self-hosted sync server, enabling fast desktop and mobile synchronization over local Wi-Fi with minimal setup, plus optional remote access and server settings.
Runs a local MCP server inside Anki so Claude or other LLM clients can create, search, edit, move and study your cards conversationally, plus analyze retention.
Turns Anki study into a networked multiplayer game where players battle each other on filtered decks, track progress, and optionally share badges and daily study time.
Runs a local web-scraping server that supplies Forvo pronunciation audio to Yomichan as a custom audio source, with configurable port, language, and preferred users or countries.
Redirects PC Anki to a custom sync server by configuring its IP address, and lifts the maximum collection upload size.
djankiserv is an open source Django-based implementation of a synchronisation server for Anki 2.1+. It includes a user manager (the native Django user system).
Installation - Connecting Anki to the sync server - Development - Contributing
This implementation was initially developed in order to support the spaced repetition functionality for Transcrobes, an open source language learning platform/ecosystem.
Any requests or functionality that don't interfere with using this project for that will definitely be entertained. Ideally the server would do everything that Ankiweb does, and much more. PRs are obviously always welcome!
Unlike the other popular open source Anki synchronisation server anki-sync-server, djankiserv stores the user data in a "proper" RDBMS. There are two 'database connections' that can be set - those for the 'system' (sessions, users, etc.) and those for user data. The 'system' stuff is just plain old Django, so any supported database can be used. The user data part currently uses either postgresql schemas or mysql databases, and currently only supports those two, though supporting other RDBMSes will definitely be considered later. sqlite3 is an embedded database and works great for that. It is not appropriate for use in modern web applications in the opinion of the maintainer, so will never be supported by djankiserv.
There is a basic API for getting certain, per-user collection-related information (decks, deck configuration, models, tags) and also notes for a given user. It may evolve to include other functions, statistics and even doing cards, though the focus is currently on getting and maintaining proper synchronisation as well as the basic API for notes.
This is alpha software with some occasional data loss bugs. It works, sorta, if you hold it right. If it kills your kittens then you were forewarned!
