A self-hosted replacement for Mozilla's Firefox Sync server, letting users sync browser data across devices via their own infrastructure. The original Python implementation (syncserver) is unmaintained and superseded by the Rust rewrite (syncstorage-rs), which supports Postgres, MySQL, and Spanner backends.
Use cases
- self-host my firefox sync server
- sync firefox bookmarks and passwords without mozilla's servers
- run my own sync storage backend for privacy
- replace the default firefox token server with my own
- deploy firefox sync with docker and postgres
- keep browser data off third-party cloud services
When to choose
- you want full control and privacy over Firefox sync data
- you prefer the actively maintained Rust implementation with modern database backends
- you want to deploy via Docker
When to avoid
- you need a supported solution without self-hosting effort
- you cannot run and maintain your own server infrastructure
- you were planning to use the legacy Python syncserver for a new deployment
