  • Customize the Template to your liking. An example from me below and start the container.

  • Once it started, navigate to about:config and search for identity.sync.tokenserver.uri
  • Edit the value to your server e.g like me here

  • Sync now and it should work.

If you want to verify if it worked, install adminer or phpmyadmin and login to the Postgresql. You will see something like this
