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 like Bit warden for someone like my mom, but I have my keepass setup with sync thing and 2fa and I'm beyond happy with that. Simple and effective.

Same here. I have KeePass database set to read only by default on my phone. I can override this but it minimizes the risk of conflict and I add new passwords on my desktop most of the time.

KeePass also supports merging new entries from a database. Helpful for paranoiacs like me, who don't let any other program touch the database, but are too lazy to not add an entry on the phone occasionally.

I came to bitwarden because we needed to share passwords with my SO and the way those replicate seamlessly on all our devices (desktop, laptop, iOS, Android) is a no brainer. Since bitwarden/vaultwarden is full self-hostable and open-source, I don't see why I would pass on its convenience.
