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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Why not just pay for Bitwarden.
Uh. You know you're responding in a self hosting community right? Should I explain why we're all here?
I do, and the point still stands. If this is something vital to you, why not let someone else be responsible for security/hosting/issues/etc.
Alright, I'll entertain this a little. Besides the one issue that I just brought up, there are no other issues. I host a dozen other things, and the VM I have it on is sandboxed besides the wireguard tunnel, so security isn't a problem.
The better question, is why not self host?
Because something that’s critical to my environment (passwords) should be hosted by a company that can provide updates, patching, and remote access more securely than I can.
Everyone thinks that they can self host critical infrastructure better than a paid service, and that may be true for a while. But life has a way of interrupting the best laid plans. Suddenly, one day, you’re several versions out of date and a different vulnerability is used to get in your network. Now you’re like that LastPass employee that was compromised via an out of date plex server.
I have the space and the know how to host my on bitwarden/vaultwarden. But I don’t. Because that’s critical infrastructure and I’ll gladly pay for someone else to host it / patch it / etc.
I kinda get what you're saying, but it's not like I'm writing the password manager myself. The updates are automatic, and when it's not updating the VM it's hosted on has network restricted to everything but wireguard and for the bitwarden service. For me to get hacked, there would have to be a zero day exploits for my hypervisor, wireguard, and bitwarden all on the same day.
I understand what you're getting at, but it's not a publicly hosted service. It's literally just for myself.
Byeeeee
Hahah okay man. Have a good one
Even if using their servers, it still can't access apps inside a work profile
