I just read about bitwarden lite for the first time. Why would you choose it over vaultwarden?

Bitwarden Unified renamed to Bitwarden Lite: update your deployment configurations
(community.bitwarden.com)
Bitwarden will manage it all for you. You dont need to settl up your own server and manage updates and worry about your drive getting corrupted and losing it all.
Vaultwarden is the selfhostable rewrite of it. If you want to selfhost, for whatever reason (and there are many good ones!), then vaultwarden could be the better option for you.
No, bitwarden lite is self-hosted.
Bitwarden lite will run on your machine using a Docker container. Lite can be run with any Docker edition or plan, but you must install Docker on your machine before proceeding with installation.
