I use around 10 browser profiles, each of which has its own set of bookmarks, plugins, self-enforced rules, etc. I want to synchronise browsing history, bookmarks, plugins using a single account. They are managed with a dedicated Firefox account, but I was wondering if I can self host accounts so that I can synchronise stuff over my VPN, and I don’t have to do mail verification every time I create a new profile. But I can’t find much on how online.
I know syncserver-rs but that is not enough. The accounts are still registered with Mozilla’s server.
You must log in or register to comment.
Yes. But it was a while ago (pre Rust) when I ran my own accounts server. I only self-host sycserver-rs now.
That being said, I’m pretty sire the mail verification is built in, so even if you self host accounts you’d have to make modifications.
Can you do something with syncserver-rs alone? Even after I log in with Mozilla account and setting sync server URL to point to mine, nothing appears in the database.
As far as I know from my own attempt, you can’t easily self host the accounts part, only the syncserver
An the Syncserver still runs on Python2 with multiple known vulnerabilities.
There is a new Syncserver written in Rust, but it seems in continous half finished state or so.
Not for years. It’s Rust now.Doh, should have kept reading 😆 Rust is used in production now.
Maybe they referred to the Rust version.
Yeah, the new one was seemingly always just shy of being ready to use
You can, it’s just more complex.
That why I said ‘easily’, there’s no ready to go solution you could just plop into a compose file
