| 1 | +# Use Docker to Deploy Your Own Sync Server |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Mozilla publishes Docker images of its |
| 4 | +[`syncstorage-rs`](https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs) builds |
| 5 | +on ghcr.io. This guide provides a simple `docker compose` setup that can act as |
| 6 | +a starting point to self-host Sync. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +Images are available for both |
| 9 | +[MySQL](https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs/pkgs/container/syncstorage-rs%2Fsyncstorage-rs-mysql) |
| 10 | +and |
| 11 | +[PostgreSQL](https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs/pkgs/container/syncstorage-rs%2Fsyncstorage-rs-postgres) |
| 12 | +as the database. The sample code will focus on MySQL. Differences in |
| 13 | +configuration or deployment steps will be noted. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +> **Note:** At the time of writing, there are no tagged release builds |
| 16 | +> available on ghcr.io. This guide will use a build from the main development |
| 17 | +> branch. |
| 18 | +
|
| 19 | +## Prerequisites and Presumptions |
| 20 | +- The reader has a MySQL or PostgreSQL database up and running. |
| 21 | +- The reader is familiar with the command line interface and `docker`. |
| 22 | +- The reader is going to use [Mozilla accounts](https://accounts.firefox.com/) |
| 23 | + for authentication and authorization. |
| 24 | +- The service will be deployed at http://localhost:8000/. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +## Docker Compose |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +Save the yaml below into a file, e.g. `docker-compose.yaml`. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +```yaml |
| 31 | +services: |
| 32 | + syncserver: |
| 33 | + image: ghcr.io/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs/syncstorage-rs-mysql:b16ef5064b |
| 34 | + platform: linux/amd64 |
| 35 | + container_name: syncserver |
| 36 | + ports: |
| 37 | + - "8000:8000" |
| 38 | + environment: |
| 39 | + SYNC_HOST: "0.0.0.0" |
| 40 | + SYNC_PORT: "8000" |
| 41 | + SYNC_MASTER_SECRET: "${SYNC_MASTER_SECRET}" |
| 42 | + SYNC_SYNCSTORAGE__DATABASE_URL: "${SYNC_SYNCSTORAGE__DATABASE_URL}" |
| 43 | + SYNC_TOKENSERVER__DATABASE_URL: "${SYNC_TOKENSERVER__DATABASE_URL}" |
| 44 | + SYNC_TOKENSERVER__ENABLED: "true" |
| 45 | + SYNC_TOKENSERVER__RUN_MIGRATIONS: "true" |
| 46 | + SYNC_TOKENSERVER__FXA_EMAIL_DOMAIN: "api.accounts.firefox.com" |
| 47 | + SYNC_TOKENSERVER__FXA_OAUTH_SERVER_URL: "https://oauth.accounts.firefox.com" |
| 48 | + restart: unless-stopped |
| 49 | + healthcheck: |
| 50 | + test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://localhost:8000/__heartbeat__"] |
| 51 | + interval: 30s |
| 52 | + timeout: 10s |
| 53 | + retries: 3 |
| 54 | + start_period: 60s |
| 55 | +``` |
| 56 | +
|
| 57 | +Note that multiple values will be read from the environment: |
| 58 | +- `SYNC_MASTER_SECRET`: a secret used in cryptographic operationsk a passphrase or random character string, e.g. `use_your_own_secret_4d3d3d3d` |
| 59 | +- `SYNC_SYNCSTORAGE__DATABASE_URL`: database URL for syncstorage, e.g. `mysql://sync:test@example.io/syncstorage` or `postgres://testo:@localhost/syncdb` |
| 60 | +- `SYNC_TOKENSERVER__DATABASE_URL`: database URL for tokenserver, e.g. `mysql://sync:test@example.io/tokenserver` or `postgres://testo:@localhost/syncdb` |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +The values can be directly written into the yaml as well. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +Next, start the service with `docker compose`: |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +```sh |
| 67 | +SYNC_MASTER_SECRET=use_your_own_secret_4d3d3d3d \ |
| 68 | +SYNC_SYNCSTORAGE__DATABASE_URL="mysql://sync:test@example.io/syncstorage" \ |
| 69 | +SYNC_TOKENSERVER__DATABASE_URL="mysql://sync:test@example.io/tokenserver" \ |
| 70 | +docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml up -d |
| 71 | +``` |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +### Database Bootstrapping |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +After starting the service on a clean, uninitialized database, some bootstrapping records need to be inserted. |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +For MySQL, run |
| 78 | +```sql |
| 79 | +INSERT INTO tokenserver.services (service, pattern) VALUES ('sync-1.5', '{node}/1.5/{uid}'); |
| 80 | +
|
| 81 | +INSERT INTO tokenserver.nodes (service, node, available, current_load, capacity, downed, backoff) |
| 82 | +VALUES ( |
| 83 | + (SELECT id FROM services WHERE service = 'sync-1.5'), |
| 84 | + 'http://localhost:8000', |
| 85 | + 1, 0, 1000, 0, 0 |
| 86 | +); |
| 87 | +``` |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +For PostgreSQL, run |
| 90 | +```sql |
| 91 | +INSERT INTO nodes (service, node, available, current_load, capacity, downed, backoff) |
| 92 | +VALUES ( |
| 93 | + (SELECT id FROM services WHERE service = 'sync-1.5'), |
| 94 | + 'http://localhost:8000', |
| 95 | + 1, 0, 1000, 0, 0 |
| 96 | +); |
| 97 | +``` |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +Note that `http://localhost:8000` above needs to be replaced with the actual |
| 100 | +service URL. |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +Restart the service with |
| 103 | +```sh |
| 104 | +docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml restart |
| 105 | +``` |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +## Configuring Firefox |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +Firefox itself needs to be configured to use the self-hosted Sync server. |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +1. Go to `about:config` in Firefox. |
| 112 | +1. Find the `identity.sync.tokenserver.uri` configuration. |
| 113 | +1. Change the value to `http://localhost:8000/1.0/sync/1.5`. |
| 114 | +1. Restart Firefox. |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +Firefox should be using the self-hosted Sync server at this point. That can be |
| 117 | +verified by checking the logs in `about:sync-log`. |
