⁠Firefox Sync Server in a Docker Container

Firefox Sync is great and in a portable Docker Container it's even greater! Read more⁠

⁠Requirements

• postgresql ( dockerize pg⁠ )
• nginx ( if you want to run behind https reverse proxy )

⁠Setup

• adapt syncserver.ini to fit your needs
  • public_url to match your internet facing URL e.g public_url = http://yourdomain.com:5000/
  • sqluri to match your postgres connectionstring e.g sqluri = postgresql://user:pass@server/db
  • secret has to be generated e.g by typing head -c 20 /dev/urandom | sha1sum
  • allow_new_users is a boolean

⁠Shake that

• if you want to run with an external pg server:
  • docker run -v ./:/conf -p 5000:5000 --name fsync -d silviof/firefox-sync-docker
• if you want to link with pg container postgres:
  • docker run -v ./:conf -p 5000:5000 --name fsync --link postgres -d silviof/firefox-sync-docker

⁠Client Setup

Go to about:config and change identity.sync.tokenserver.uri to http://yourdomain.com:5000/token/1.0/sync/1.5
