I can confirm that the sync server "sync.koreader.rocks" does not sync any progress. It is pingable though, but does not sync.
Also ota.koreader.rocks does not work, there are no OTA updates working.

When the sync.koreader.rocks server is not working this is a problem which makes KOreader quite unusable. The timeout when trying to sync blocks every other reading possibility e.g. going to the next page.

I do not understand why KOreader does not have a progress sync via Dropbox or Google drive or have a fall back sync server. The sync.koreader.rocks server is down quite often and this is really frustrating.

I know there are possibilities to setup my own server to sync the progress but this is only possible with a (for me) complicated Docker installation.

If there is a simple Apache solution with PHP to sync my private reading progress I would install it, but I have only found Docker solutions which cannot be installed on simple webspace servers.

If somebody can point me to an Apache+PHP solution I would be very grateful, the sync.koreader.rocks solution unfortunately is not stable as it seems.
