Reevaluating my password management (sh.itjust.works)

It never made sense to me to put password managers in the cloud. Regards to what you intend it to do, you’re making it accessible to a wider audience than necessary. And yet, I’m using iCloud. It’s time for a change.

I’m thinking of just running a locally hosted password manager on my home server and letting my devices sync with it somehow when I’m at home. I have a VPN into my home network when I’m away that automatically triggers when I leave the house, so even that’s not that big an issue, but I’m really not familiar with what’s gonna cleanly integrate with all my stuff and be easy to use. All I know is I wanna kill the cloud functionality of my setup.

I already have a jellyfish server so I figured I would just throw this onto that. Any suggestions?

It's dated, but phenomenal (and secure)

It's strange how I never see this mentioned anywhere, but there's a way to get unique secure passwords for every site/app without needing to store them anywhere. It's called LessPass, and essentially generates passwords based on 3 fields (site, username, master password) and works relatively well, because the advantages are quite obvious I'll list the potential downsides:

If one password is compromised or needs changing for whatever reason you need to increase a counter and need to remember which counter for which site (this is less problematic than it sounds, except in places that have a password policy that forces you to change your password periodically)
Android can store the master password and use fingerprint to input it, but in PC you always have to type your master password which can get annoying.
You need to change your passwords to this new format, which can take a while, and years down the line you're trying to login somewhere and don't remember if you've already migrated it or not.
