Want Syncthing instead of Nextcloud? Go ahead! In contrast, KeePass works with files (much like SQLite) and therefore, if you'd prefer to use SD cards or Samba or NFS or whatever instead of VPSes to somewhat decrease the attack surface, or simply use tools that you know, then you can do that.

KeePass has good UI and I'd argue that you don't need a team of UI and UX developers to keep track of some usernames and passwords (and maybe certificate files).įurthermore, I'd argue that most of the cloud offerings are actually problematic because not all of them let you download the data as files.

might be necessary depending on the setup, but are not usually required for most regular VPSes.īackups and updates should also be taken care of, but full VPS backups are mostly standard and you can just bump the container tag every month.Īs for the UI, i agree in principle, but not in this case.

Lastly, install KeePass from the previously mentioned links and put the password DB in the synced folder (probably 10 minutes) Then, set up something like Caddy for a reverse proxy: (probably 20 minutes)Īnd then, set up Nextcloud: (probably 20 minutes) Personally, i use Docker Swarm, but that's just a few more init commands and Docker Compose works as well: (about 5 minutes)

My time probably isn't as valuable as that of the many people here (about 5x less earnings on average in Latvia when compared to places like US), therefore it definitely makes sense for me to upskill myself in any way possible, especially if I get usable software out of it.īut if you take the container based approach, there is almost no administration to be done:įirst, install Docker: (about 10 minutes, varies by distro) But I’ve moved the things that were attachments to an encrypted disk image, and 99% of my password manager interaction is via auto fill so I don’t actually care how polished the UI is.įamily sharing would be a more compelling reason to stick with it if you’re using that.įor a moment I felt that perhaps I should add clarification about how I'm not trying to dismiss the cloud solutions (as in the notorious Dropbox comment), but instead am attempting to provide one of the many libre setups to answer the parent question, but in the end didn't get around to it.

I’ve bought a lot of software and I don’t mind paying for good software. Same reason Lightroom can pound sand with their $120/year licensing, I’m not going to keep my photo library in something that I just have to keep paying for the rest of my life.īitwarden is good enough for me, with 1Password as a subscription you can look at it and realize “this is going to be $36/year forever.” If I spent any time in it, might be worth the expense. Maybe it’s irrational, I just don’t like being so dependent on a subscription service, and having a local network sync between my devices was just fine. It probably would have been less money if it had been a subscription from the start with all the times I bought it. I’m still glad I switched, having bought 1Password on a bunch of platforms and a bunch of paid upgrades before it turned into a subscription. The lack of categories is also a nuisance for organization, you can create folders but have to manage it manually. I’m not sure what happens with all of those, maybe transformed into secure note, but again with all of the attachments removed.

Most record types (software license, wireless router, documents, drivers licenses, email accounts, membership, passports, maybe more) don’t exist in Bitwarden.

It’s not a complete import, you’ll get usernames and passwords but if you’ve done anything else with it (like say attaching software license files, scans of important documents, etc) they’ll be silently dropped.

Sales organizations love to claim 'it's what the customer wants', 'it's more affordable', among other half-truths - when the reality is it's a much more consistent revenue stream that disconnects customers voting with dollars from continual enhancement of the product such that the customer is incented to upgrade. But in the majority of cases the customer is not always delighted by this move. Maybe it's that they're positioning to sell the company and moving to 100% subscription boosts the bottom line valuation. Clearly 1Password has a subset of customers that don't want what they're forcing on customers. While I understand subscriptions can add value, I don't understand the forced model. Bitwarden has slowly been adding the features I wanted when I had left Lastpass - and at this point it just works for my workflow. I used the migration as a point in time to clean up my vault and have enjoyed a completely clean password manager ever since. I was moving from Lastpass after they sold out.
