Re: [fxa] Advice Request - Firefox Accounts Server

Hi Clément,

I've been just added to this list and your message is the only one I've received so far, but if you haven't seen, I made some progress in the installation of a self-hosted FxA server. See my notes here: https://github.com/mozilla/fxa/issues/3652
Sadly, it is not usable as I ran into some difficulties around turning a dev env into a production server. It would be so great to make it happen as it contains all the services that you'd need as well, e.g., a sync server instance. The issue is also p5 which means the lowest priority, so I don't hope any help will come to rescue us in the following months :(

My overall feeling from what I've seen in the repo in a couple of days is that FxA is open source but maintained as a professional product. For me, it means corporate goals are the absolute priority and self-hosting/community concerns/privacy conciousness are second or third.
It would be great to prove me wrong and see a counter example by prioritizing the issue higher and assigning somebody to work on it to update the FxA self-hosting docs. I think, many people would love to do a "docker-compose up -d" on this project at home or at a VPS to host their own Mozilla FxA/sync stack.

Cheers, Immánuel

Subject: [fxa] Advice Request - Firefox Accounts Server

To whom it may concern,

I'm currently facing several issues trying to deploy a Firefox Accounts Server.
The official documentation seems to be outdated, and I can't get the new monorepo (https://github.com/mozilla/fxa) to work as expected.

I especially face many problems of dependencies and interdependencies between the different services provided by the monorepo.

I know other people tried this installation process and had similar issues. I would appreciate it if you could point me to a more updated and/or precise documentation set.

My last bullet point would be to know what are Mozilla's plans about this project (still maintained ?, part of the roadmap ?, ... ) ?

Thank you in advance for your help,

Best regards.
