I found these servers, but they all appear to be broken ?

https://github.com/balu-/FSyncMS/ https://github.com/posativ/weave-minimal https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver

Is there one that works ? And since they all seem to break eventually, how do I set firefox to not autoupdate past the last compatible version of my sync server, if I get one to work ?

thanks

Did you try this one? It was linked from the Mozilla services repo.

I can’t speak to the quality of this repo, but at first glance it seems to make running it in Docker pretty easy: https://github.com/dan-r/syncstorage-rs-docker

It looks like a number of people have done something similar: https://hub.docker.com/search?q=syncstorage-rs

I didn't know this was possible! I will be giving these a go when I get home.
