Ankit

An HTTP server that adds decks and notes to an Anki collection and keeps the collection in sync with an Anki sync server.

---

Quick start

You need the .NET SDK 10.0 and Rust 1.97.1 (on Windows also the MSVC build tools). The build is driven by ./build (build.cmd on Windows):

./build      # prepare, build and test everything
./build Run  # start the server in Docker on port 5000

Set the sync account before running the server, for example with SyncServer__Username and SyncServer__Password. On a fresh account, call POST /sync/full once to start syncing, see First sync.

Documentation

• Building: prerequisites, build options, pipeline and targets
• Server: configuration, HTTP API, errors and the first sync
• Testing: test projects, the sync server container and coverage
• rslib bindings: the native bridge between Ankit.Native and Anki's rslib
