chrome-sync-server

Sync server for use with Chromium Most of this code and libraries is from the Chromium source code, wich has a C++ testserver that needs to be compiled.

To use the server:

Prerequisites:

• Python 2.7

Example for running the server on port 8090:

python sync_server.py --port=8090

there are a few cl options to know about. All other flags are for tasks to use if needed.

• --port Port used by the server. If none is specified, the server will listen on an ephemeral port.
• --host will set the host to connect to, defaults to 127.0.0.1
• --log-to-console Enables sys.stdout logging default is False
• --log-file The name of the server log file.
• --xmpp-port Port used by the XMPP server. If unpecified, the XMPP server will listen on an ephemeral port.

Chromium settings

Chromium needs to run with command line flags that sets the sync server custom url and enables logging

Linux:

chromium-browser --enable-logging --enable-synced-notifications \ --sync-url=http://127.0.0.1:1337/chromiumsync

Windows:

chrome.exe google-chrome --enable-logging --enable-synced-notifications \ --sync-url=http://127.0.0.1:1337/chromiumsync
