Huh...it was surprisingly easy to get a private instance of the #Firefox sync service up and running, I'm not sure why I never thought to do this before. So now I can have my #Waterfox data sync for a backup in case anything happens to my primary system and I lose my install and it's not at all reliant on using Mozilla services that would be used to fuel their AI initiatives. Steps here are pretty accurate - https://mozilla-services.github.io/syncstorage-rs/how-to/how-to-run-with-docker.html. Their steps for compiling from source were complete shit, there was so much additional work needed in order to get it to compile cleanly that they do not list in their build documentation. Honestly the container setup is so dead simple, compiling it yourself seems a waste of energy unless you're trying to build a version to run on an ARM processor or something. Anyway, I'm happy to provide what steps I had to follow to get their compilation to work on a clean VM I had just built if someone is trying to go about it the hard way.
