  • syncstorage-rs

    Sync Storage server in Rust

  • > The alternative is https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs which is ridiculously hard to set up.

    This is the issue to watch, supporting SQLite. This makes it feasible to run a simple sync server for a single user or a small group. But this is not moving forward.

  • Firefox Sync Server

  • dave

    Discontinued A totally simple and very easy to configure stand alone webdav server

  • There are solutions external to the browsers that work pretty well and where you have control on your data :

    Floccus for bookmarks (https://floccus.org/) : it works also on mobile devices : a great plus ! You need only a webdav server (or a Nextcloud account), I use Dave (https://github.com/micromata/dave)

    Vaultwarden for the passwords (https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden)

    A huge advantage of this solution is that you can have synchronization also between different browsers and on mobile devices.
