Automated Firefox Sync server image built from s6 on a Raspberry Pi.
564
Image for a Lightweight Mozilla Syncserver running on Docker . Uses the default SQLite3 database, serves the content using gunicorn.
Built from my alpine-s6 image using latest available python and pip.
Based on Alpine Linux.
The image is tagged respectively for the following architectures,

From Syncserver README :
Now go into Firefox's about:config page, search for a setting named "tokenServerURI", and change it to point to your server:
identity.sync.tokenserver.uri: http://localhost:5000/token/1.0/sync/1.5(Prior to Firefox 42, the TokenServer preference name for Firefox Desktop was "services.sync.tokenServerURI". While the old preference name will work in Firefox 42 and later, the new preference is recommended as the old preference name will be reset when the user signs out from Sync causing potential confusion.) 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
# make rshell
docker exec -u root -it docker_ffsync /bin/bash
# make shell
docker exec -it docker_ffsync /bin/bash
# make logs
docker logs -f docker_ffsync
If you have the repository access, you can clone and build the image yourself for your own system, and can push after.
Before you clone the repo, you must have Git, GNU make, and Docker setup on the machine.
git clone <repository url>
cd <repository>
You can always skip installing make but you will have to type the whole docker commands then instead of using the sweet make targets.
To locally build the image for your system.
# make build
docker build --rm --force-rm \
-t arpanpal010/alpine-ffsync:armhf \
--no-cache=true --pull .
# make push
docker push arpanpal010/alpine-ffsync:armhf
Currently built daily on a RaspberryPi3 (armhf builds) or IntelNUC (x64 builds). Docker hub builds maintained by arpanpal010.
