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

说明与用途

HelixSync 是一个开源的自托管浏览器同步工具，使用端到端加密，数据保存在用户自己的服务器上。

结果

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

工作流

• 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.

来源

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

来源

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

来源

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

来源

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