Does not build

[nocturn9x]

As per the title, all of my attempts getting this to build failed. It seems there is an issue with the repository hosting the rust code, because I get the following error:

444.6 error: the `#[test]` attribute may only be used on a free function
444.6   --> tokenserver-auth/src/crypto.rs:27:5

This is tied to the upstream project. Editing the Dockerfile and setting the GIT_COMMIT variable to point to the latest release seems to resolve it. With that said, the requirements files referenced later on were removed in this release, so I had to manually install the requirements listed in the pyproject.toml files.

from rust:latest

I've tried to make this project work a lot but eventually the only thing that I managed to actually make sync with firefox was the dockerized setup described here, leaving this so others might find it helpful

My impression is also, that the main Dockerfile does no longer build. I am using my own build from December 2025. The dockerfile from @Markil3 above did build when I tried today. However, I am unable to sync bookmarks with it. When I switch back to my December 2025 build, bookmarks do sync on the spot.

Ran into the same issue as @michaelschefczyk . Builds fine but doesn't sync successfully with no logs on the server.
