On: Introducing Mozilla Firefox Accounts

[jeena]

Will it still work with the self hosted sync server? Or will there be a self hosted one for Firefox Accounts?

And I hope they will implement it on Firefox OS very soon, otherwise the whole syncing is not really that interesting.

I expect those of us that host their own Sync server will have to deploy this[0] one instead. This is the general idea I got reading [1].

That.. looks quite a convoluted setup for 'simple' private hosting. Plus, the instructions seem quite sparse.

Is that something Mozilla is officially endorsing or something that might perhaps work, good luck with that?

New Sync has been development for about a quarter. Right now all effort on the Sync project is to get the basic workflows finished and testing the various Sync clients (Fx Desktop/Fx Android).

The team is looking to have a more understandable self deployment strategy by the time this ships in Firefox release ~12 weeks. This is not a promise though. Engineering work is tricky to estimate.

Self-hosting is on its way!
