Prérequis

Il faut installer python, make, mercurial et sqlite3:

sudo apt-get install python-dev mercurial sqlite3 python-virtualenv

Compiler le serveur

On récupère les sources depuis le mercurial de mozilla :

jmfrouin@secure:~/sync$ hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/services/server-full
destination directory: server-full
requesting all changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
added 539 changesets with 1470 changes to 346 files (+1 heads)
updating to branch default
60 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

On entre dans la copie locale :

jmfrouin@secure:~/sync$ cd server-full/

Et on lance la compilation :

jmfrouin@secure:~/sync/server-full$ make build
virtualenv --distribute --no-site-packages .
New python executable in ./bin/python

# Pre-compile mako templates into the correct directories.
for TMPL in `find . -name '*.mako'`; do ./bin/python -c "from mako.template import Template; Template(filename='$TMPL', module_directory='`dirname $TMPL`', uri='`basename $TMPL`')"; done;

J'ai pas eu le problème, mais si y'en a avec pysqlite, il faut l'installer :

./bin/pip install pysqlite

Lancement du serveur

Starting server in PID 29951.

En action

Ainsi on note, que sous firefox, on peut utiliser la synchro des modules complémentaires (les extensions) alors que sous iceaweasel non.

Les 5 restants :

- les marques-pages

- les mots de passe

- les préférences

- l'historique

- les onglets

étant communs aux deux navigateurs.

Suite à la mise à jour sous wheezy :

cp etc/sync.conf ~/
hg revert etc/sync.conf
hg pull
hg update
make build
bin/easy_install Mysql-Python
cp ~/sync.conf /etc

Je reviendrai éditer ce billet, pour ajouter la configuration avec nginx du serveur.
