I would really love to use Firefox Sync. But I don't want all my browsing history at Mozilla. Is it possible to run self-hosted Sync?

- robin_reala 4y agoSync is E2E encrypted, so while Mozilla host an encrypted file they don’t have access to your data. (yes, it’s also possible to run your own sync service.)
- hosteur 4y agoIs it though? I have not been able to find any official up-to-date docs on it. The Github README says that it is no longer maintained: https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver
- hosteur 4y agoIt seems that self-hosted Firefox Sync is NOT currently supported: https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs/issues/550 https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs/issues/55... https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs/issues/681 https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs/issues/68... It seems they are migrating the solution without having any instructions on how to self host it.
