Our own Server to authenticate users and sync their preferenced
-
Right now we are creating accounts authenticated with Vivaldi, as a corporate customer id like to setup my own auth/sync server for my users.
Possible now? or?

@biggy140886 Why not?
Do this like Bookmarks - "Hooks" that can be referred to and used in applications. Unix has a complete definition of "Users" and "Groups" and security tokens. I need an alternate server for security and encryption so I can make a secure group between my devices, but I do not want Google, Apple, and Cloudflare to read all my passwords and check that these follow the rules that they have imposed. If we can use Vivaldi as a log-on server that authenticates UID, I need "sessions" and pk1, pk2, pk3 and can then make it impossible for them to intercept - block them.
The next is to hold all CSS "Style Sheets". So, why not? -
Brave has sync-go; seems this could be leveraged by Vivaldi. Let's get out the vote!

5 votes over the years; seems not to be so urgent for users.
Own sync server is a Nice-to-Get feature, but not important for me.
In some future, i heard some years ago that Vivaldi Sync server code will be open source when release to public.

Hi,
I use my own synchronization server for my Firefox (and an old Palemoon), located on a VPS somewhere on the internet (encrypted storage), with a permanent backup on my local NAS via rsync.
Even if we often focus on encryption, the availability of a service is also an element of its security, especially for businesses.We commonly say: "I stay because I can leave; that's freedom."
And how could I leave leaving so much valuable personal data behind in servers beyond my reach?PS: I trust Vivaldi to do its best, but why isn't the sync server part of the publicly monitored resources (https://vivaldistatus.com)?

Since Sync now (as of version 6.5) includes the full history (URLs), I believe that more people would prefer a self hosted option.
With a self hosted option, history sync could even expand to a full text history search as Opera Presto had it.Important quote in this context:

Very old Feature Request in tracker since 2015.Note that I found this feature request three times on the forum - I believe this is the primary place the discussion should be, considering this is the Community and Services feature requests category, and sync is part of those features. Find links to the other two threads below.

request for sync Server to be open-source exists since 8 years. No progress. Sad.
