Firefox Sync adds official PostgreSQL support

The Sync Storage team has landed official PostgreSQL support for Firefox Sync. Historically, Sync has only officially supported Google Spanner as a storage backend, with MySQL working unofficially. That has been a pretty high barrier to entry for people self-hosting their own services. With PostgreSQL support, we hope to make self-hosting more approachable and continue supporting people who want the agency of hosting their data on infrastructure they control. There is updated documentation for running it with Docker, including a one-shot docker compose setup: https://mozilla-services.github.io/syncstorage-rs/how-to/how-to-run-with-docker.html Mozilla is publishing Docker images for the PostgreSQL build here: https://ghcr.io/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs/syncstorage-rs-postgres If you’ve been interested in self-hosting Sync but were put off by the storage requirements, take another look.
