Allow self-hosting ?

[farfeduc]

Hi,

I would like to know if you would like to make this part of brave self-hostable ?

If yes, I think the best way to do it would be to offer the possibility to use Minio as a AWS-like backend : https://docs.minio.io/docs/how-to-use-aws-sdk-for-javascript-with-minio-server

I think this would be great. To configure you could simply use an environment variable to specify the Minio/AWS endpoint like AWS_ENDPOINT.

It would also be great to have a Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml files to easily run your own sync instance.

I hope you would like to go in this direction. I can provide some help to add those to the current repo if you don't have the time.

We definitely want to allow self hosting eventually though it's not on the roadmap yet. cc @ayumi

As a first pass, we could have the sync server be configurable for people who are building the sync library themselves and running Brave in dev mode.

we should move discussion to #58
