just setup a private #firefox #sync server. pretty straight forward... 
1. build a #docker image from https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver
2. #deploy it somewhere
3. configure identity.sync.tokenserver.uri in #about:config to point to your new location
4. login at `about:preferences#sync` (you still need a #mozilla account, unless you also run a private account server)
5. sync and check about:sync-log for #error|s
@martin this is what I need to add to they.com. thanks
@martin my domain is thejoyo.com and that does have a valid cert. chrome doesn't want to do an http redirect tho.
I'm pretty sure that's how I configured the domain registration and cert.
@martin oh now that I think about it I am blocking port 80
@Xyc0 yes, that's what it looks like ;-)
curl also gets a time out on :80
but even on :443 the page doesn't work for me... it says " Error fetching updates" (do you need cookies or anything?)
@martin lol I didn't catch that autocorrect.
