I tried using firefox sync with a local server to store data. I setup a server with instructions on http://docs.services.mozilla.com/howtos/run-sync.html

I am able to successfully use this from my linux desktop but when i try adding my mac os to the account it results in errors. I see unknown errors on sync. I tried using a new profile etc and errors were reproducible

I looked at sync-log and i see the following error:

1386076078813 Sync.Service INFO CollectionKeys reports that a key update is needed. 1386076078876 Sync.Resource DEBUG mesg: GET success 200 <LOCAL_SERVER>/1.1/75ugindpcsvkrvwljyqcdfn5h3eteaxw/storage/crypto/keys 1386076078876 Sync.Resource DEBUG GET success 200 <LOCAL_SERVER>/1.1/75ugindpcsvkrvwljyqcdfn5h3eteaxw/storage/crypto/keys 1386076078877 Sync.CollectionKeys INFO Updating collection keys... 1386076078877 Sync.CollectionKeys WARN Got exception "[Exception...

I tried this using the beta builds and the nightly builds and the same error is reproducible.

I also see the following error in one of the sync logs

hello jaskirat, since this forum is primarily manned by volunteers and yours is a rather specialised question, i think you'd have a greater chance of a reply that could solve the issue when you post your question directly to the services-dev mailing list, which is linked at the bottom of https://docs.services.mozilla.com/howtos/run-sync.html

thank you!

I don't have a problem with the sync server at all. The problem seems to be with the sync client. All right let me try syncing with mozilla servers and update this thread, because i am sure even that would not work.
