Error after error after error on this one. Trying to buid the Docker
image for arm64 so I've edited the supplied Dockerfile accordingly.
The image builds but throwing errors about \`\`\`ChaCha20\`\`\` and
all this other python nonsense?

You might have more luck with this: [https://github.com/mozilla-
services/syncstorage-rs](https://github.com/mozilla-
services/syncstorage-rs). It's the successor to the tool you're trying
to use.

I mean, the first paragraph says

> Note that this repository is no longer being maintained.

> The Firefox Sync Server has been rewritten in Rust, and the new
project can be found here:
    https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs

Why use the unmaintained one?

Cause I'm a derp. The unmtained is still linked on the results that
appear on Google, though.

This seems to be the way forward, but I couldn't go through the
instructions. The whole setup and readme seem to be unnecessarily
complicated. If you're hoping for a single container and a quick
docker deployment you're gonna have a bad time.

Yeah I had a bad time. the 2GB Pi does not have enough RAM to compile
the insane amount of stuff they make you compile. They couldn't have
had a Docker container ready to go without all the extra faff?
