[ add-on support ] Local Anki server - use self-hosted server with wifi (by Shige)

It’s a support thread for the add-on Local Anki server, if you find any problems please contact me.

| Ankiweb page | code : 49665391 |

what is this add-on?

this is an add-on to use a local server instead of Ankiweb server. the latest version of Anki for desktop has a built-in Self-Hosted Sync Server for advanced Anki users, this add-on makes that server easier to use for beginner Anki users, so you can easily use the local server by just logging in with very little setup.

how the add-on basically works?

  1. when you start Anki the local server is auto started. the default username and password is username, password1234 (you can optionally change them) on the desktop it auto sets the self-hosted server to Preferences when you log in from the add-on settings. in AnkiMobile and AnkiDroid you can connect from the same wifi after entering the self-hosted server in the mobile app option. when you close Anki the local server is auto closed.

for more info and setup instructions please read the wiki.
