Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Bitwarden lite self-host deployment, formerly unified, is now generally available! This self-host option is a more lightweight and flexible deployment alternative, ideal for homelab enthusiasts and community members who want to get started quickly with self-hosting Bitwarden. With the release of general availability, Bitwarden lite users can benefit from enhanced performance and reliability.

Seems to be an official alternative to Vaultwarden

I don't trust my setup for something like this.

My server and NAS go down in a fire, and I'm not gonna have the key I need to get the backup so I can restore my password manager lol

You'd need a good backup somewhere. But that's the same for bitwarden cloud. You cannot just assume it will never have issues

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (4 children)

No, my problem is that I need my password manager to access my backup, and I need my backup to get my password manager.

That is a bad setup then. Not an issue of the software or hardware.

Thanks for your useful and actionable feedback that clearly explains the problem. So trustworthy /s

Seriously though, this is what break glass accounts are for. Create an account that can access your backups (preferably only the backup system) with a really long password and keep it offline in a safe place. Like a safe. Set up alerting if the break glass account ever gets used.

I had the same issue which is by I don't self host bitwarden. If my house burned down the same day Bitwarden had a catastrophic outage I'd probably have issues but that seems unlikely.
