Hi, I want to setup a sync server on Synology NAS. As ankicommunity/ankicommunity-sync-server does not work regardin to ankicommunity-sync-server/issues/158 with the current versions I read in the official manual that it can be done via Python. As Synology NAS has Python installed, the question is how to setup it with python: Aim is that it can be used with reverse proxy, e.g. anki.blabla.dynv6 . net In the instructions are only that commands mentioned: python3 -m venv ~/syncserver ~/syncserver/bin/pip install anki SYNC\_USER1=user:pass ~/syncserver/bin/python -m anki.syncserver Should user and pass changed to the username and the passwort? Which port is used internally that I can map it with the internal reverse proxy? How can I use the folder /volume1/anki/data as sync folder? How can I check if the server is running; how to stop the server? How to deinstall it? A docker container can not be creater from the official sync code right? ---
