Vaultwarden

“As a Bitwarden (and Vaultwarden) user on Mac/iOS/Safari, Linux/Firefox and Android I have had zero issues with passkeys”

“I'm using BitWarden with a self-hosted Vaultwarden for the server-side to do that”

“I've been self hosting Vaultwarden for me and my wife for years without issue.”

“in the age of the LLM security is an arms race that I’m not going to win”

“I have it running as a secondary thing on a 512 MB machine and don't notice it's there.”

“The clients keep a local encrypted copy of the vault, so the server only needs to be up for syncing.”

“it's probably not wise to stay with it as a server long term”

“I have the ability to lock it behind a VPN so it isn't even publicly exposed.”

“now I have to run and maintain and backup a Vaultwarden server just to log into my HSA, which is absurd”

“If desired, you can self-host something like Vaultwarden so that you can both keep the keys independent of third parties”

“One of my favorite things about self-hosted Vaultwarden is that you get distributed backups for free.”

“Was able to get it setup, migrated and 1Pass sub cancelled in less than an hour.”

“I was always a bit afraid of the self-hosting (of something this critical)”

“the export feature is highly unlikely gonna be removed immediately as the free plan disappears”

“It is pretty feature-parity with normal Bitwarden, up to and including the emergency access stuff”

“The lack of an iOS client is the only thing making me explore alternative solutions altogether.”

“It is surprisingly very durable and maintenance-free even for a script kiddie like me to maintain.”

“it took 2 minutes to create a quadlet to run vaultwarden and a few more to configure it”

“less like a guide on hardening Vaultwarden than a guide on why I should be skeptical about it”

“there are clients for Linux or Windows? …and that is where Bit/Vaultwarden comes into play.”

“By not exposing it to the wider internet. When I use a client (iPhone, browser, etc.) while on the home network, it syncs.”

“Me and some friends have each been hosting vaultwarden casually for years now.”

“the person behind that project now works for Bitwarden so there's some risk of a rugpull”

“isn't something you can casually run by yourself without some careful thinking”

“I'm running Vaultwarden because while on the one hand I'd like to just pay a company to make my password problem go away”

“I have been self-hosting Vaultwarden for a few months and it has been great.”

“Take that away and Vaultwarden is nothing more than some random back end software that can not really be trusted”

“Vaultwarden relies on the goodwill of Bitwarden to allow it to use its clients for compatibility.”

“If you are using Bitwarden self hosted, you can switch it out for Vaultwarden.”

“I've been self-hosting Vaultwarden for some time, I'm pretty happy with it.”

“simply didn't allow to search for the fields you didn't scroll yet to”

“Vaultwarden's great, but the inferior browser clients just don't make up for it.”

“ridiculously easy to deploy and also very lightweight while being immensely popular”

“It's a pretty painless way to keep things in sync without ever allowing Bitwarden to be accessible outside my home network.”

“especially from anyone running Vaultwarden with Secrets Manager — I don't have one to test against.”

“basically solves it permanently. takes ~30 min to set up and you own your data.”

“I can selectively expose services on the internet (e.g. VaultWarden) without exposing my server”

“Vibe-setting up a home network server with VaultWarden is beyond reckless.”

“I also take minor issue with running Vaultwarden in this setup.”

“Even better I run vaultwarden on the cheapest AWS instance using tailscale.”
