Selfhosted

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.

Looking to migrate away from APS as it is no longer in active development.
I need a solution that will still enable me to add/remove/change passwords from an Android device, a Linux device, and have all changes sync-up. (In GNU-pass-based APS, it's achieved by a git repo that saves passwords as gpg encrypted files) Preferably, I want it to still be self hosted, F-Droidable, and maybe a migration guide or tool to ease the transition.

Thanks!

Bitwarden for paid, or VaultWarden for self-hosted.

I would say throw them some support and buy the cheap yearly pricing. It's a steal, and you won't have to worry about it ever.

This is the way. I've used other methods like Keypass + Nextcloud, etc. A system built for this, like BitWarden, is soooo much better. Especially at things like 2FA secrets.

Or best of both worlds, self host Bitwarden directly for $20/year

Well yes, I run my own, as does everyone else questioning your response. The $20 is throwing everyone without context. We can only assume you mean hosting costs.

I was responding to a comment about bitwarden being paid while vaultwarden is self hosted. I've been self hosting bitwarden for years and pay $20 a year for the subscription to do so and support them. Is the self hosted option not paid like the comment I replied to says?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

OK, there's the context. "I self-host BitWarden and pay for an individual license to get extra features and support them."

All for that: Finance FOSS! That bring said, Comment OP didn't say you couldn't self-host BitWarden, but I understand the response now. Vaultwarden is just so much easier to self-host, though.

[–] keyez 1 points 3 days ago

The way it is written was like only vault warden is self host able and usually VW is mentioned more in forums when the actual official stack that gets regular updates and security reviews is available to host so I always like to point that out so more people use it instead of the knock off though it does have it's use cases.

I use bitwarden, it's pretty nice

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Can confirm, it remembers passwords and doesn't tell them to bad guys and gals.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You could use KeePassXC. Just sync it on your cloud platform whether that be Google cloud or Nextcloud.

~~Syncthing's development has been stopped months ago.~~

edit: it didn't stop

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

syncthing's development is alive & well.

I'm presuming you're referring to the Android wrapper that had it's last update 2 weeks ago?

The Syncthing-Fork project is also still alive & (presumably) continuing on

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

mb, seems to be how you said it. And I stopped using it because my dumbass thought the development stopped.

[–] rtxn 14 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

If you have a way to sync files (Nextcloud, Syncthing, etc): KeePassDX on Android (f-droid), and KeePassXC on Linux (Flathub). They both support TOTPs, and XC has browser and libsecret integration.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Plus SSH agent integration which is killer 💯

Vaultwarden

Super easy with a single docker compose file.

[–] BrownianMotion 5 points 4 days ago

Selfhost Bitwarden. Has apps for everything, browser extensions and can be accessed via webpage as well.

Whatever you choose, consider a donation to the devs, that's what helps prevent these apps from dying

I like proton pass it has a free tier and paid version
