Firefox Sync is awesome and I use it all the time. It'd be awesome if #Mozilla would make it easier to have a self-hosted option for this too. I know it *can* be done (I played with it a bit) but it was very hard to get going and I eventually had to give up.

@tilvids @thunderbird Sad thing it was easy to self host long ago.

When I tried to do it, it was a pretty complicated process. I was hoping it'd be more like a snap package experience.

From memory there is an app in #Nextcloud (and/or maybe #Yunohost) that makes a #FirefoxSync sever significantly easier to set up.

Will have to look for that, sounds intriguing! Thanks!

@tilvids @thunderbird Couldn't agree more - gave serious consideration to self-hosting that, but it's just not worth it for 1-2 accounts from where I sit, given the complexity.

Agreed, though I just looked (at the suggestion of @Blort ) and it looks like there IS a Yunohost option for Firefox Sync so...that's something to think about. Still, would be nice if Mozilla could create an easier install/setup workflow.
