Firefox Auth Server w/ FCS & FSS

[murgero]

Essentially this would allow one to run and host their own Firefox Authentication and Sync server (Sync Bookmarks, passwords, history, etc from the browser to a self-hosted server)

Links:

• https://github.com/mozilla/fxa
• https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver

Would anyone be interested in using such an app?

@murgero given it's already the 9th most wanted I'd say the answer is yes!

What's the difference between that app request and this?

[murgero]

@jdaviescoates The link in the old request is for old code

Just wanted to know if this has any progress
As soon as I am somewhat familiar with Docker i could try myself. But this still will take some time. Maybe someone want to teach me?

@timbo We have been having a couple of meetups already to help with Cloudron packaging. One by @doodlemania2 and another by @thetomester13 . You can follow this thread - https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/4214/app-packaging-event . We will probably have another one soonish.

[doodlemania2]

@murgero Would this also support the Firefox Relay stuff? THAT would be HUUUUUGE

[mehdi]

@doodlemania2 I think Firefox Relay is separate from the main sync server

@girish Great, thanks a lot! I will surely try to catch one of these events!

[doodlemania2]

@mehdi yeah, but Relay seems to require it, so if you packaged this thingy, we might could then package relay!

[mehdi]

@doodlemania2 I don't know if Cloudron is currently capable of having an app receive emails from multiple different email addresses, i don't think it is. So Relay would not be packageable for cloudron as-is

@murgero Whoa, count me in. I'd use this a lot.

Where the app, this is a must have where is the app!!?? loll

Seriously, this is something that should be put on WHIP class.

Cheers!

Now there is a Firefox View that can send tabs to other devices and recover tabs from history, etc.

Looks like this project in Python makes it easier and is already dockerized:
