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.

Rejoice! Our beloved password manager, ZX2C4's pass, sees its Android implementation back on F-Droid. This APS fork has been pushing development forward since some time already, and has finally been published on the aforementioned app store earlier this month.

Integration with Android

The GnuPG implementation for Android is called OpenKeychain. To configure it, just go to the "key management" menu and import the previously created secret key. The only drawback of OpenKeychain for me personally is that there is no fingerprint unlocking.

The pass implementation for Android is called android-password-store, or simply APS.

Install and launch APS. Before synchronizing the password store, go to the "Settings" menu. There we will need the following items:

  1. Git server settings. The resulting URL should be the same as that specified on the repository page on github. Authorization type - OpenKeychain.

  2. Git utils. In this section, specify the username and email from the gpg key.

  3. OpenPGP provider. Select OpenKeychain.

  4. Autofill.

Now you can clone. Select "clone from server" on the main screen, specify the desired location of the repository, check the git settings.

Of course, pass is not that easy to set up. However, this price buys confidence that the tools we use will not one day be declared obsolete, will not change their data format, and will not be left without support.
