Comment on Has anyone successfully self-hosted Firefox Sync?

Yes. But it was a while ago (pre Rust) when I ran my own accounts server. I only self-host sycserver-rs now.
That being said, I’m pretty sire the mail verification is built in, so even if you self host accounts you’d have to make modifications.

Can you do something with syncserver-rs alone? Even after I log in with Mozilla account and setting sync server URL, nothing appears in the database.

Yea, it works for me, but there were no great guides. If nothing is in the DB, try checking HTTP error codes, or setting the
RUST_LOGtotrace(which gives you a log line for every item synced).A problem I had that seemed like nothing was saving was the nginx proxy wasn’t doing things right, and I couldn’t tell. Using the local IP worked, and after making some nginx config tweaks I got it working.
I ended up making suggestions here based on my experience: github.com/porelli/firefox-sync
I didn’t exactly use that repo, but started with it. Their nginx config works, though.
