anki_sync_server_setup

basic usage

Install for the first time:

git clone https://github.com/fd3kyt/anki-server-auto-setup.git
cd anki-server-auto-setup && sudo ./setup.sh

• User data is stored in /home/anki_server/server_data/collections/anki.
• Sync account:
  • name: anki
  • password: will be asked when running setup.sh

Reinstalling:

cd anki-server-auto-setup
git pull
sudo ./setup.sh

If /home/anki_server/server_data/collections/anki already exists, will not create a new account, just use the existing data.
