Self-hosted sync server?

Hey guys,
just switched from Chrome to Brave on desktop. Now I wonder if you plan to offer a self hosted sync solution between (different) desktop(s) and mobile? I couldn’t find anything on the net…

The sync server code is available at https://github.com/brave/go-sync and can be run under Docker.

There’s a Reddit post which mentions this at https://www.reddit.com/r/brave_browser/comments/i9p0uz/selfhosted_syncv2/

I’ve briefly tried this today and it seems to work, syncing bookmarks between two browsers at least.

Currently it seems there is no way to persistently set the --sync-url option, but there’s a feature request open for that: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/20431 .

FWIW, Brave makes some debugging info available at brave://sync-internals/ (found via brave://chrome-urls/ )

Hey,
thank you for your response - I somehow missed the notification about it.
I will check the links and respond.

Please add a setting in the sync setting to change your server URL.
