+# Building and running Anki sync server in Docker
+
+This is an example Dockerfile contributed by an Anki user, which shows how you can run a self-hosted sync server,
+similar to what AnkiWeb.net offers.
+
+Building and running the sync server within a container has the advantage of fully isolating
+the build products and runtime dependencies from the rest of your system.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- [x] [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-started/)
+
+# Building image
+
+To proceed with building, you must specify the Anki version you want, by replacing `<version>` with something like `23.12.1`.
+
+```bash
+# Ensure you are running this command inside /docs/syncserver
+docker build --no-cache --build-arg ANKI_VERSION=<version> -t anki-sync-server .
+```
+
+# Run container
+
+Once done with build, you can proceed with running this image with the following command:
+
+```bash
+# this will create anki server
+docker run -d  -e "SYNC_USER1=admin:admin" -p 8080:8080 --name anki-sync-server anki-sync-server
+```
+
+However, if you want to have multiple users, you have to use the following approach:
+
+```bash
+# this will create anki server with multiple users
+docker run -d -e "SYNC_USER1=test:test" -e "SYNC_USER2=test2:test2" -p 8080:8080 --name anki-sync-server anki-sync-server
+```
+
+Moreover, you can pass additional env vars mentioned [here](https://docs.ankiweb.net/sync-server.html)
