Is it right that I still need the Mozilla Firefox Account Server and that there is at the time of writing no solution to 'self host' the Account Server to build a autonomic infrastructure? Like Robin, I want to setup up a Firefox/Iceweasel sync and backup solution on a local network, but for a far smaller group of users (<1000), so I need no cloud scaling container solution. I would be fine with things like Vagrant or other hyped container/cloud/mass management projects, as long as it would be possible to use it. The documentation of the setup procedure for sync server 1.1 or weave was well written and worked for months without problems. Right at the time I cannot use the sync feature, because with the current documentation and project status I was not able to set it up in a so called self hosted way :( I want to run a sync solution for a metropolitan wireless community network which doesn't have an internet uplink all the time, so I would be pleased to be able to setup the Account Server as well as the Sync Server on our local hardware. I'm looking forward to see the project grow. I would also like to help with testing and giving feedback to improve documentation.
