docker-firefox-syncserver VS Firefox Sync Server

This one seemed to be doing more: https://github.com/crazy-max/docker-firefox-syncserver

If you only want the sync server (which I recommend by the state of things), https://github.com/crazy-max/docker-firefox-syncserver is a good solution. I'm pretty sure you won't find an easier solution. I'm currently running it myself and it work like a charm.

Firefox's sync service is open source [1], so you can self-host it and update your about:config to point to it. I do this and it works great.

Caveat is that I've linked to the old Python one, and they've got a new Rust one, but it didn't support SQLite the last time I had checked.

I'm currently self-hosting Firefox's sync server, its been working good for a year now. Syncing everything, bookmarks, history between Windows, Mac and Android. I like Firefox but I want to switch browsers after reading this (Not necessarily this issue, but the possibilty of something similar that can't be avoided happening in the future).

Been self-hosting their unmaintained repo https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver for 2 years with 0 maintenance required (honestly forgot I had it running until I saw this thread).

Firefox syncserver

Would love to host Firefox Sync Server on a local Pi but the project seems to have died? https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver

Their issue tracker suggests that it’s mostly due to their team being focused on the main Firefox service:

https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver/issues/264#is...

I’m sure it wouldn’t be that hard to port but if they’re committed to a different direction it’s probably best not to give the impression that you should plan to keep using it.

I just followed the docker-compose guide from official repo: https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver
