Firefox Sync Server

[Jflo]

I didn't see any existing configs that used the official image from Mozilla, so I made one.

This will likely be the support thread for any questions.

Excuse my nooobness to unRAID, I do more searching than posting

 

FireFox Sync Server with MariaDB I assume is OK to use.  I don't see a password field in docker settings.  Seems it is only for SQLlite.

 

Or do I build MariaDB and not use a password for the FireFox database?

 

Thanks.

I dunno, i never tried it. Mozilla ships it with the embedded SQLlite, but looking at their init code here:

 

https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver/blob/master/syncserver.ini

 

Looks like they may at least support whatever pymysql is....

I don't understand why the included Icon does not render correctly on the installed docker apps page.

Hi,

 

I have a question before installing. Looking at the template I understand that I should open a port for Syncserver Public URL.

 

Can I use it with swag reverse proxy instead?

 

Basically I have a custom domain. I can set a subdomain like firefox.customdomain.it and let nginx in swag do the proxy from external to localhost:5000 (even I don't found any proxy conf in swag folders...).

 

What do you kindly suggest?

 

Thank you in advance!

Hi Jflo,

 

you have an error in your template. It is not possible to disable new user account creation, which may be crucial functionality if you want to make your SyncServer available from the internet.

 

The problem is in docker variable SYNCSERVER_ALLOW_NEW_USER, it should be SYNCSERVER_ALLOW_NEW_USERS

see: https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver/blob/master/syncserver/__init__.py#L188

 

Please fix it, it may save some debugging why the account creation is not disabled, for people who are using your template

I can create pull request in your repository if you want.

 

Thanks!

Created a pull request as @Jflo didn't reply yet. This is an important security fix! Thanks for spotting this @dotn !

I use caddy v2 as reverse proxy for mozilla-syncserver to do https ssl encryption. Basicly any reverse proxy should work as long as it does not tamper with the http headers.

uncanny timing, i literally just pushed this fix moments ago.

 

Thanks for the spot and the fix.

I installed the container, set-it up, forwarded port from router, etc, all works fine from what I can tell. If I navigate to the page i created, says "it works!" . In firefox about:config I changed identity.sync.tokenserver.uri value to http://mysubdomain.mydomain.com/token/1.0/sync/1.5 . From here, I'm lost ... when I try to sign up from firefox menu I land on mozilla account page. I created an account, to see what happens. Seems that it's not working, no idea how to use the docker sync I run. Any help please?

does not work for me either

looks like values from the template does not appear to change anything in syncserver.ini file

Thanks for the info, I was getting crazy with this. Maybe the OP can put this in the package description?
