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.

I am trying to capture costs for starting into homelab/selfhosting.

VPNs, search engines, absolutely everything and anything.

Which password manager do you use?

[–] tjoa@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Oh it’s actually more like 20€/y i just realized, $19,80 to be exact. Bitwarden. But there was a post the other day that enshittification is going to start soon so idk what I will get then. If there is no good alternative I will probably start selfhosting that too

I currently pay for Bitwarden and self host Vaultwarden. As long as we can still use the Bitwarden app with Vaultwarden, I won't have a problem.

There isn't another password solution I want to use currently.

If we lose that self-hosted feature for Vaultwarden I will jump ship to a keepass compliant solution.

I guess we could still fork the current Bitwarden client?

[–] hellmo_luciferrari@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 hours ago

I would hope so. That and the extensions.

Run your own Vaultwarden service. Its FOSS, and works with Bitwarden clients.

i swapped to proton pass

I'm in the same boat and looking for alternatives.

The first one I tried was Psono, basics worked ok but I didn't like how there was no keybinding to auto fill passwords. Another negative was the session handling, you'd either need a complete login including 2FA or keep the session active at all times without any prompt for the master password even after a restart.

Run your own vaultwarden, you get to use all the bitwarden things for free. With rumours of enshitification coming let the people who do not do the self hosting pay for the development. If I had the money to donate I would have stopped the moment I heard the enshitification rumours.

I don't want to worry about my password manager being down if I ever have a total outage for any reason

[–] Lemmert@reddthat.com 1 points 3 hours ago

The Bitwarden client, extension and app keep those locally as well. So unless you have a prolonged power outage, you should be fine. Though if you don't have anyone you need to share passwords with I'd recommend KeepassXC with Syncthing. You can set keybindings with the browser extension

Last time my power was out all of my vaultwarden passwords were on my bitwarden install on my phone.
