Anyone use Passbolt? (sopuli.xyz)

I'm thinking of picking up some parts or using an old laptop to host a few services, passbolt being one of them. I've seen that it requires an SMTP server though. Is this actually required? And would I be able to use this without getting a domain name?

I don't have an answer to your question, but out of curiosity why passbolt over vaultwarden (the non-commercial bitwarden backend)? It's the most common thing I hear about in this space, what makes you prefer passbolt?

To be honest, i don't know yet. I've yet to try both, and plan to anyway. Does vaultwarden require an SMTP server/domain name all the same?

[–] ErnieBernie10 6 points 1 year ago

It probably requires a domain name if you want it to be publicly available. SMTP is not required. I'd recommend vaultwarden.

@CausticFlames
It doesn't require it, but you can't send password reset or emergency access emails without it.

I only have messed with it a bit, but it does require a SMTP server because it relies on sending email for account setup.

Ok, thank you! Is there any way you know of to get an SMTP server running and functional without a domain name?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can use your Gmail account

My apologies for being inept, but would you mind providing a link to somewhere I can learn to set up an SMTP server using only my Gmail Account?

No worries! Here is a guide for setting up smtp for passbolt with gmail
