# fxsync-docker
|
|
|
|
This repository is holding a working docker-compose setup for documentation purposes
|
|
because [syncstorage-rs](https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs)'s documentation
|
|
is not very good to explain how to self host the new mozilla rust syncserver.
|
|
|
|
With help of it you can self host the new Firefox sync server, which is written in Rust
|
|
and replaces the old python one, which is deprecated.
|
|
|
|
## Background
|
|
|
|
Firefox browser data can be synced across devices. The sync service is normally provided by Mozilla.
|
|
This is selfhosted alternative server written in Rust and dockerized for easier deployment.
|
|
|
|
`syncstorage-rs` has a [docker release on docker-hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/mozilla/syncstorage-rs/)
|
|
but it also needs a database to run, which this docker-compose.yaml helps setting up and connecting.
|
|
|
|
Theoretically you could run Firefox Account yourself, but for login this project relies on the Mozilla
|
|
servers, because setting up and configuring it is quite complex but it does not give much more security.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
1. Clone this repositoy
|
|
2. Copy .env-example into .env (including the dot at the beginning of the file)
|
|
3. Put in (random) passwords into .env
|
|
4. Put in the domain where you will run your sync server into .env
|
|
5. Setup your reverse proxy server (see nginx-example-com.conf)
|
|
6. Install the systemd service (see fxsync.service) and enable it
|
|
|
|
### Setup your Firefox
|
|
|
|
1. In [about:config](about:config) search for identity.sync.tokenserver.uri
|
|
2. Change it from the default to https://fxsync.example.com/1.0/sync/1.5
|
|
3. Log in to Firefox and start syncing.
