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.

In the latest episode of "they will always sell you out" - they sold you out! Who would've thought.

Hoping for a good alternative client to appear, the writing is on the wall. Vaultwarden can't exist without "leeching" off of Bitwarden.

For other websites, if I search for 'passkey' on the KeePass website feature list nothing comes up. Plugins in a password manager sketch me out a bit tbh lol

See here: https://keepass.info/help/base/placeholders.html#otp Also worth pointing out that most plugins are open source. You can read the source and compile them yourself, if you'd like.

This is for OTP not Passkeys it seems?

How do you go about loading plugins on the Android version for sync with your setup?

I don't usually use plugins on the Android version. I don't use the Android much, actually, just due to my use patterns. There's actually several different KeePass Android apps. KeePass is open source and the database format is documented. So anybody can make a program that uses the same database. The one I use is Keepass2Android, seems to be one of the popular ones. Looks like it also can natively generate TOTP. Apparently it has some sort of plugin system, but I've never needed to use it because it can pull my password database out of my Google Drive natively.

You need to specify what kind of passkey to be more specific. There's several different algorithms. HOTP and TOTP are very widely used. It's what Google Authenticator and the like use. If you have something very proprietary, like the old RSA keys, that probably can't be emulated by any software. Or they could, but you can't get the secret to be able to do that.
