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.

I thought that Vaultwarden install was going to be a little simpler but after having consulted a few guides here and there its maybe less straightforward than I thought.

My use-case is to use it on may internal LAN only with not access from outside whatsoever. In theory, http should be fine, but as this tool will contain quite a bit of sensitive data, I can see why it may be a good idea to go https. Are most of you internal users only setting up https?

My network is behind a pfSense setup that uses unbound to resolve all DNS. Locally, all my DNS requests are being forwarded on the subnet I will have Vaultwarden installed.

  • First question is whether for internal network use only, I need to go https.
  • Second question is whether I need to follow this guide?

I run vaultwarden local only and use https, mostly because vaultwarden doesn't allow itself to be run over http. The way I did it was to get a domain (you can buy one if you want, I used duckdns for a free one) and when prompted for an IP to point it to, use your server's internal IP instead your public IP. Other than that you should be able to follow all the guides as normal
