I’m going to move away from lastpass because the user experience is pretty fucking shit. I was going to look at 1pass as I use it a lot at work and so know it. However I have heard a lot of praise for BitWarden and VaultWarden on here and so probably going to try them out first.

My questions are to those of you who self-host, firstly: why?

And how do you mitigate the risk of your internet going down at home and blocking your access while away?

BitWarden’s paid tier is only $10 a year which I’m happy to pay to support a decent service, but im curious about the benefits of the above. I already run syncthing on a pi so adding a password manager wouldn’t need any additional hardware.

      • KeePassXC can’t be run in headless mode, and the GUI is tightly coupled to the app. You have to have all of X installed, and have a display running, to run it.

        Here’s the runtime dependencies of KeePassXC:

        I don’t know why it links to a systemd library. Here are the runtime dependencies of rook:

        linux-vdso.so.1
        libresolv.so.2
        libc.so.6
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
        

        Don’t get me wrong: KeePassXC is one of my favorite programs. But don’t leave it running all the time, and it can’t be run on headless systems.

          I see, thanks for explaining. So IIUC, rook is intended for headless systems?
