From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

fxsync-docker: Self host the new Firefox sync server (github.com)

This repository is holding a working docker-compose setup for documentation pourpuses because syncstorage-rs's documentation is not very good to explain how to self host the new rust syncserver.

With help of it you can self host the new Firefox sync server, which is written in Rust and replaces the old python one, which is deprecated.

Hmm. I wouldn't risk it, personally. I bet the data that syncs can be quite specific. Have you looked for an extension that can just do tab syncing?

You know the tab send/share function on FF, I basically want that but also another account (work) to be available to send to.

Yeah. I don't know of an extension. I think you could create an extra Firefox profile and run two versions of Firefox (home and work) at once on the home PC. That might be a compromise that works?
