I’m using Vaultgarden. Things are okay after losing my SSD yesterday morning. My strategy worked… HDD for data, SSD for the OS. I promptly found an available drive, installed Linux mint and recovered.
But that was scary. I keep a backup on another computer. The only way to actually run it and see the passwords needed to do anything was thru my phone. I was lucky that somehow the database was available offline. But if I had run out of battery I would be extremely screwed.
So I’ve decided the Vaultgarden is encumbered by not really having a local reliable copy. Maybe I’m wrong, but as I understand, if your server goes down and you log out, you’re screwed… No more passwords until your server is up again. I find that to be extremely stupid unless I was protecting my severed testicles… No wait, that would be way worse.
So I’d there a server + local system? Like Joplin… You can write notes all day with no server at all. The server just Synchronizes it all. In the past I used syncthing and I will continue using it. One thought was to have an automated backup from Vaultgarden that was automatically synced to my various devices as a Keypass database.
You all need to get on vaultwarden, the small self host bitwarden. I move to that after my keypass db got out of sync on my nextcloud for the second time that day, I’ve not looked back.
Vautlwarden as a service is great and since it’s GPLv3 licensed there’s no way that can be shut down. But the client is another matter and maybe that doesn’t stay open for using it with Vaultwarden forever https://www.osnews.com/story/145029/get-your-passwords-out-of-bitwarden-while-you-still-can/
