I Built an Open-Source Alternative to Browser Sync — Your Data, Your Server

Описание и применение

HelixSync – это открытое решение для синхронизации данных браузера, которое вы размещаете на своём сервере, шифруя данные и сохраняя контроль над ними.

Задача

Sync bookmarks, browsing history, and open tabs across devices without relying on third‑party services.

Результат

HelixSync enables private, end‑to‑end encrypted synchronization of browser data across devices, eliminating dependence on external cloud services.

Рабочий процесс

• Deploy HelixSync on your server using Docker Compose
• Create an account and save the recovery code
• Install the HelixSync browser extension
• Connect browsers to the server
• Select data types to sync (bookmarks, history, tabs, tab groups)

HelixSync lets you sync your browsing experience across your devices using a server that you host yourself.

Источник

With HelixSync, you run the server yourself, and your data is stored in your own PostgreSQL database.

Источник

HelixSync uses end‑to‑end encryption. Your synced browsing data is encrypted so the server stores ciphertext rather than readable bookmarks and history.

Источник

HelixSync intentionally does not sync passwords. It focuses on browser data such as bookmarks, history, tabs, and tab groups.

Источник

With Docker Compose, you can get the server, database, and web dashboard running on your own machine or server.
