I'm interested in hosting zotero sync on my own server. I see there are options for setting up a custom server once you have an account. If the goal is to have everything fully offline, can we have a way to change the sync server without logging in? Thanks!

No, that’s a misunderstanding. Once you set up data syncing, there’s an option to configure a WebDAV server for file syncing rather than using Zotero Storage. But data always syncs via Zotero servers.

Running a custom sync server is a vastly more complicated process and one that we don’t provide any support for.
