Error "missing field `mod` at line 1 column 99" when initiating sync from client about ankicommunity-sync-server HOT 7 CLOSED

For people like me finding this issue later: The Docker image URI has changed (that change is not reflected in the README of https://github.com/ankicommunity/anki-devops-services at time of writing). It is now available at https://hub.docker.com/r/ankicommunity/anki-sync-server (e.g. ankicommunity/anki-sync-server:20220516), see ankicommunity/anki-devops-services#47

Anki Desktop: 2.1.42

I've tried to use @levindu 's docker image. And It is OK for uploading, but fails to downloading.
When it comes to downloading, the error message says that the user name or password is incorrect.
Any comment on this will be appreciated. Thanks.

I am having the same issue and unfortunately no solution yet. However, I can provide some thoughts on it. Have you tried to sync with another application (e.g. AnkiDroid)?
For me the sync works with AnkiDroid. Hence the issue seems to be related to the Anki application itself.
Assuming the sync functionality works with the official AnkiWeb (I have not tested it yet), I suspect an API incompatibility between this anki-sync-server and the anki desktop application (version 2.1.35).

@hblr I just tried AnkiDroid and it appears to sync (albeit nothing since the server has nothing on it). But no 40X HTTP errors.

Server output when I sync with AnkiDroid:

I'm guessing the number for the 'v' key in "Running meta..." above (and in the OP) is the protocol version? It's 9 for AnkiDroid, and 10 for the desktop client. I'm not sure what that means yet (or if I'm right).

By looking into the source code, parameter v seems to be the sync protocol version and cv a more detailed client information string.

That docker image has a rather old server code.
You'll have to build a new one yourself. See this PR .
I've archived a successful sync with Anki 2.1.35 in Arch Linux.

I finally got back to this and got it to work with Anki 2.1.35 (same build as in the OP). I tried uploading my local deck and nuking my local deck and redownloading it. All is well (no password issues or errors).

@levindu was indeed correct in that it was old server code that was causing this bug. Simply updating the server fixed the bug I was originally having (and so far has not introduced any new bugs).

Just to be clear for anyone else who stumbles upon this, I used anki-sync-server at commit 43f4934. This was somewhat arbitrary but I simply went forward in time from @levindu 's PR until it worked.

I also used the docker-compose files from here (note the commit hash), and the only change I made was I added the following lines after git clone in bin/download-release.sh to pull the server commit I wanted:

cd anki-sync-server
git reset --hard 43f4934de8add5f23aa9318a84c756f27214fb72
cd ..

Obviously this could be simpler if I just pulled a version tag, but the latest version is from Dec 2020 and it didn't build correctly.
