Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Syncserver was what OP was asking for, I used it and it was great while it worked. The rust rewrite is almost impossible to self-host, at least as of a year ago there was no easy way to do it on a reasonably sized machine.
Why? What is the issue?
If I recall correctly they used some exotic database that is made for multi tenant cloud environments and scales up really well, but does not scale down too much. I've seen some article where a guy managed to set it up locally but it was a long one, and the result was resource hungry. But, again, my knowledge may be outdated
Just look at the setup docs. First they tell you to setup mysql and then this nugget
Looks like there is a simple way now, yay! https://blog.diego.dev/posts/firefox-sync-server/
