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.

Vaultwarden update out as of ~15 minutes ago, includes security updates.

It says "unconfirmed owner can purge entire organization vault". That seems probably not great, so updating is probably a good idea.

Isn't that there point though? Remote synchronizing?

I understand why some would do this. It's definitely a more secure setup, but I highly doubt "most". I like having passwords on my work laptop. I couldn't sync there with a VPN, for example. My wife, kids and parents aren't going to run VPNs on their phones, etc.

Vaultwarden is specifically used for self hosting. Setting up a Wireguard VPN on your server at home can be tricky in specific instances. Most of the time it's dead simple though. Installing a Wireguard Client on your mobile devices is as simple as scanning a QR code. And to be fair: If you're going to expose the Vaultwarden instance to the internet why not just use the official Bitwarden service then? I'm sure they can handle security better than someone who has trouble setting up an VPN server.
