The first time I tried to get a custom Firefox Sync server running, I used server-full and even though I know python (the server is written in python), the con­fig­u­ra­tion was highly difficult. There’s no click & install. You have to choose between Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL and Sqlite3. For most people, sqlite3 is quite fine. Sqlite and sync-server config files have summed up almost 80 LoC. And you still don’t know how to au­then­ti­cate unless you have already a LDAP server running.

There are some al­ter­na­tives: ffpyweave, django sync server and formerly weave-minimal too, written in PHP but not supported anymore. But I’ve forked the official server-full (well I completely rewrote) to a …weit­er­lesen.
