This project allows you to securely synchronise your Firefox data (bookmarks, history, tabs, passwords, etc.) across multiple devices over a private Tailscale network, eliminating the need for cloud-based services.\n\n## ✨ Features\n\n- **🔒 Self-Hosted Firefox Sync**: Keep your Firefox data within your private network.\n- **🔐 Secure Tailscale Integration**: Leverage Tailscale for secure, private networking.\n- **⚙️ Easy Setup**: Simplified deployment using Docker Compose.\n- **🛠 Customisable Configuration**: Adjust settings to meet your specific needs, including database credentials and sync secrets.\n- **📱 Multi-Device Sync**: Seamlessly synchronise data across all your Firefox installations.\n\n## 🚀 Getting Started\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n#### Install and Set Up Tailscale\n\nTailscale is a modern VPN built on top of WireGuard that makes it easy to connect your devices securely across the internet.\n\nHere are some key features:\n\n- **Free for up to 100 users**: Ideal for individuals and small teams.\n- **Flat mesh network**: Direct connections between devices without requiring a central server.\n- **WireGuard protocol**: High-speed, low-latency encryption.\n\n**If you don't have a Tailscale account yet, sign up for free (up to 100 devices)**: [Sign Up for Tailscale](https://tailscale.com).\n\n1. **Install Tailscale**: Visit [tailscale.com](https://tailscale.com/download) to download and install Tailscale or use the bash command below:\n\n    ```sh\n    curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh\n    ```\n\n2. **Run Tailscale**: After installing, you may require a reboot if you receive an error. Start Tailscale with the following command:\n\n    ```sh\n    sudo tailscale up\n    ```\n\n3. **Log in to Tailscale**: Follow the instructions in the terminal to log in to Tailscale. This will usually open a browser window where you can authenticate your Tailscale account.\n\n4. **Verify Tailscale Connection**: Ensure that your device is connected to the Tailscale network by checking the Tailscale status.\n\n    ```sh\n    tailscale status\n    ```\n\n### Installation\n\n1. **📥 Clone the Repository**:\n\n    ```sh\n    git clone https://github.com/JonCastaway/FiTaDoServer.git\n    ```\n\n2. **🔐 Generate Random Passwords and Get Your Tailscale IP address, add these to the Docker Compose File**:\n\n    ```sh\n    chmod +x stage1.sh\n    ./stage1.sh\n    ```\n\n3. **🔧 Build the Docker Container**:\n\n    ```sh\n    docker compose build\n    ```\n\n4. **🗄 Start the MariaDB Database**:\n\n    ```sh\n    docker compose up -d mariadb\n    ```\n\n5. **🔧 Initialise the Databases**: Run `stage3.sh`.\n\n    ```sh\n    chmod +x stage3.sh\n    ./stage3.sh\n    ```\n\n6. **📈 Bring Up the Rest of the Compose Stack**:\n\n    ```sh\n    docker compose up -d\n    ```\n    \n7. **🦊 Configure Firefox**:\n\n#### Configure Firefox Desktop\n\n- Go to `about:config` in Firefox.\n- Set `identity.sync.tokenserver.uri` to `http://TAILSCALE_IP:8000/1.0/sync/1.5`.\n\n#### Configure Firefox Android\n\n- Open the Firefox for Android menu.\n- Tap `Settings`.\n- Tap `About Firefox`.\n- Tap the Firefox icon 5 times.\n- Go back.\n- Tap `Sync Debug`.\n- Tap `Custom Mozilla account server` and enter your content server `http://TAILSCALE_IP:8000`.\n- Tap `Custom Sync server` and enter your sync server URL `http://TAILSCALE_IP:8000/token/1.0/sync/1.5`.\n- Tap `X` to stop Firefox that appeared in the menu. The server changes will take effect when you run Firefox again.\n\n### 🚀 Now sync Firefox!\n\n## 🤝 Contributing\n\nWe welcome contributions!
