I had a hard time setting up the new sync server for Firefox which is written in Rust because the documentation is very bad.

After a lot of try and error and reading comments of people in the issue tracker I finally was able to set it up and run it successfully.

Mostly for my future self, but perhaps it also helps other people I documented it with help of a README and a docker-compose.yaml which makes it easy for me to upgrade if necessary and also to store all the other config files with examples.

    nice work! I had given up on getting FF sync running. I used xBrowserSync for a while but that has no iOS support so am currently using Linkding. I will give this a shot :-)

      Firefox browser data can be synced across devices. The sync service provided by Mozilla. This server is selfhosted alternative written in Rust and dockerized for easier deployment.

    How much will we save on the production Mozilla Firefox servers in terms of load?

      Nothing, that is not the point.

      The point is that I don’t want Mozilla to store my personal information on their servers, especially not all my passwords and surfing history.
