Run-Your-Own Firefox Sync Server
================================
This is an all-in-one package for running a self-hosted Firefox Sync server.
If bundles the "tokenserver" project for authentication and the "syncstorage"
project for storage, produce a single stand-alone webapp.
Complete installation instructions are available at:
https://docs.services.mozilla.com/howtos/run-sync-1.5.html
Quickstart
----------
The Sync Server software runs using **python 2.6** or later, and the build
process requires **make** and **virtualenv**. You will need to have the
following packages (or similar, depending on your operating system) installed:
- python2.7
- python2.7-dev
- python-virtualenv
- make
Take a checkout of this repository, then run "make build" to pull in the
necessary python package dependencies::
$ git clone https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver
$ cd syncserver
$ make build
To sanity-check that things got installed correctly, do the following::
$ make test
Now you can run the server::
$ make serve
This should start a server on http://localhost:5000/.
Now go into Firefox's `about:config` page, search for a setting named
"tokenServerURI", and change it to point to your server::
services.sync.tokenServerURI: http://localhost:5000/token/1.0/sync/1.5
Firefox should now sync against your local server rather than the default
Mozilla-hosted servers.
For more details on setting up a stable deployment, see:
https://docs.services.mozilla.com/howtos/run-sync-1.5.html
Customization
-------------
All customization of the server can be done by editing the file
"syncserver.ini", which contains lots of comments to help you on
your way. Things you might like to change include:
* The client-visible hostname for your server. Edit the "public_url"
key under the [syncstorage] section.
* The database in which to store sync data. Edit the "sqluri" setting
under the [syncstorage] section.
