I'd like to self host my bookmarks and sync them myself across devices, seems impossible and I might end up using cronjobs.

- stevekemp 8y agoI store my bookmarks in a flat-file, under revision control. Then present them via a simple jQuery-based UI: https://github.com/skx/bookmarks.public https://github.com/skx/bookmarks.public
- tomcooks 8y agoInteresting solution, I will give this a try I wonder if I can implement some sort of version control on Android via Termux
- BlackLotus89 8y agoIf you mean your own firefox sync then here you go [0] if you mean an actual cross device, cross browser sync then you probably need to write something yourself. It seems like a need for something like this does exist [1]. Maybe a simple sync server and a cross browser plugin? Anyway have a nice day :) [0] https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17072977 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17072977
- tomcooks 8y agoI had problems trying to install syncserver in the past, maybe it's worth giving it nother shot - thanks! I'd rather skip plugins because I'd like to use the default bookmarking function (especially on mobile)
- tomcooks 8y agoah the problem was related to the auth server, given Mozilla's attitude towards data I'd rather avoid their system. I think I'll stick to an hackish backup to my server via scp and Termux - thanks again!
