if using module anki 2.1.40, works abnormally
then, upgraded to anki 2.1.44
great, it can sync now, but still has one major issue.

cannot sync media files

even cannot create a media folder [collection.media] at server
(instead of no nginx, it can sync anything to the server)

also tried nginx 1.21.1, the problem is still the same.

finally, it can sync on anki v2.1.44 windows desktop. good news.
real appreciate that you guys all hard work. thank you.

cygstar · 2021-07-17T09:51:43Z

now can sync all media files, without any issues.

put following line

client_max_body_size 0;

into http {} in nginx.conf to disable the body size check
then reload nginx and restart sync server

many thanks to dobefore and VikashKothary
best regards!

installing anki sync server for windows 10, and sync at anki 2.1.44 windows version

download and install python 3.8.x windows edition
download anki-sync-server, unzip .\src into a local disk folder [for example: E:\AnkiSyncd]
open cmd as administrator at local disk folder

E:\AnkiSyncd>

Install the dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

upgrade anki module to 2.1.44

pip install anki==2.1.44 -U

modify ankisyncd.conf
(must change the host ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to suit yours, for example your server/pc ip adress: 192.168.1.138)

[sync_app]
# change to 127.0.0.1 if you don't want the server to be accessible from the internet

data_root = ./collections
base_url = /sync/
base_media_url = /msync/
auth_db_path = ./auth.db
# optional, for session persistence between restarts
session_db_path = ./session.db

create user and password
(fully support for ankidroid, if using like email address, for example of username: xxxx@xxxxx.xxx)

python ankisyncctl.py adduser <username>

download nginx-1.21.1, unzip all to local disk folder and setup nginx
modify nginx.conf at .\conf and change proxy_pass ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to suit yours.

## anki_sync_server;

start nginx service

start nginx

or reload nginx if nginx.conf has changed

nginx -s reload

check nginx service if started

tasklist /fi "imagename eq nginx.exe"

nginx is started, if showing those messages

start the anki sync server

python -m ankisyncd

create an anki 2.1 type addon at anki addon folder .\addons21
(must change addr xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to your anki sync server ip address)

Create a new directory in the add-ons folder (name it something like ankisyncd), create a file named __init__.py containing the code below and put it in the ankisyncd directory.

python file must save as code page utf-8

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

os.environ['SYNC_ENDPOINT'] = addr + 'sync/'
os.environ['SYNC_ENDPOINT_MEDIA'] = addr + 'msync/'

run and setup sync user/password at anki 2.1.44 windows, then anything will be syncd
setup ankidroid 2.15.6
settings --> advanced --> custom sync server
check [custom sync server]

sync url: (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx must be your anki sync server ip address)

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:27701/

media sync url:

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:27701/msync/

settings --> ankidroid --> ankiweb account
enter username and password, and log in
15. quit nginx

nginx -s quit

setup and run ankisyncd normally

but cannot sync at windows desktop

selected [upload] then went wrong, at the same time, synced anything to server

if selected [download], lost anything, selected [update], problems are the same

if selected [later], [legacy timezone handling] disappeared, also ankisyncd showed some messages
