Perhaps this isn't the time or place, but has anyone been able to successfully run a Firefox sync server in totality?
The state of affairs last year when I looked into this again didn't inspire a lot of hope. [1]
And to this day, the documentation for doing so seems subpar. [2]

- CamJN 7y agoFirefox sync doesn't even work using Mozilla's servers in my experience.
- dblohm7 7y agoApparently somebody put together a Docker image: https://github.com/michielbdejong/fxa-self-hosting https://github.com/michielbdejong/fxa-self-hosting
- techntoke 7y agoThat is over 4 years old. The fact that Mozilla obfuscates this process so much says a lot about how "trusthworthy" they actually are.
- jjdjr0odo7 7y agoBleh they need to kill that and define a dir/file structure that nicely organizes history, bookmarks, preferences, and let me store it on an arbitrary location. For example, I can access Gdrive on my Mac, Linux box, and iPhone. Let me load that path. Oh look now I’m “synced” across devices. Mozilla sync always felt like a “me too” feature rather anyway.
