I am a happy self-hoster of firefox-syncserver for the data, (but Firefox Account for just identity) and it's been pretty awesome to not worry about sending off my browser history and still be able to sling tabs between devices for reading on the go or at home.

The main issue is that despite some good efforts in 2017, it still hasn't been fully converted to python3 - so in the coming year I'll have to work out how best to keep running it following python2 removal from repositories. Hopefully someone else will do the hard work, then we can package it for debian (#900867) which would hopefully make running it yourself more accessible.
