This repository is holding a working docker-compose setup for documentation pourpuses because syncstorage-rs’s documentation is not very good to explain how to self host the new 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.
Just wanted to say thanks @jeena@jemmy.jeena.net for calling it fxsync and not ffsync, I’m glad there’s still at least one person out there who knows what the proper abbreviation for Firefox should be!

Can you please explain why it should be FX and not FF?
Mozilla stated that a while back.
How do I capitalize Firefox? How do I abbreviate it?
Only the first letter is capitalized (so it's Firefox, not FireFox.) The preferred abbreviation is "Fx" or "fx".
Why does this need 3 mariadb containers?
Well four is just a bit absurd
Five is right out
Yeah the need for 3 mariadb containers is ridiculous.
Always wanted to hook up 2 accounts to one dB, so I could share tabs from 1 account and send to another eg work or home. Could this help?
Hmm. I wouldn't risk it, personally. I bet the data that syncs can be quite specific. Have you looked for an extension that can just do tab syncing?
You know the tab send/share function on FF, I basically want that but also another account (work) to be available to send to.
Yeah. I don't know of an extension. I think you could create an extra Firefox profile and run two versions of Firefox (home and work) at once on the home PC. That might be a compromise that works?
I've been looking for this just yesterday but apparently all sync info is end to end encrypted anyways and Mozilla has no access to the synchronized data? Is there a reason to self host this but just for the principle of it?
If you have multiple firefox profiles, then you have to create an sync account for each one if you want to sync. Not a good idea if you have 5 profiles, some of them using a main email (like a corp or school) that won't be around forever.
Being able to sync multiple profiles with only one account is convenient for me.
