Ability to make a personal ankiweb server

Hi
I’m a developer and I’m able to make a personal server for many open-source softwares like git
I want to know if it is possible to make a personal Anki server to use as an Ankiweb replacement to store my decks?

then if it is possible, is there any HTTP APIs to access and change it on my own server? I’m asking it because I’ve heard the reason that there is no API for Ankiweb to edit decks is the increase of load on servers while it is a free tool.

thanks for your attention

- Media syncing is not currently supported. You will either need to disable
  syncing of sounds and images in the preferences screen, sync your media via
  AnkiWeb, or use some other solution.

- This code is partly new, and while it has had some testing, it's possible
  something has been missed. Please make backups, and report any bugs you run
  into.
- The server runs over an unencrypted HTTP connection and does not require
  authentication, so it is only suitable for use on a private network.
- This is an advanced feature, targeted at users who are comfortable with
  networking and the command line. If you use this, the expectation is you
