because of a layer of protection

What does this mean? It’s very vague :D

I have a cronjob that just does docker pull/stop/rm/run without checking the error codes

Ah, you like living on the edge 😛

I don’t trust automated Docker updates… There can be breaking changes between versions. I don’t want my Docker containers to automatically break themselves :D

any $5 VPS provider will do.

A cheap <$20/year VPS is sufficient to host Vaultwarden. No need to spend several times that. My Vaultwarden installation is only using 120MB RAM, so a 1GB RAM VPS would be more than sufficient. Take a look at RackNerd, HostHatch, GreenCloudVPS, and the other top providers on LowEndTalk. RackNerd’s latest sale has a VPS plan with 1GB RAM and 14GB SSD storage for $11.38/year: lowendtalk.com/…/boom-boom-4th-of-july-deals-come…, but I’d personally go with the 4GB RAM and 75GB disk for $47.88/year, since self-hosting is addictive and you’ll find plenty of other stuff you want to host.

(I’m not affiliated with any of these companies)

Get a Yubikey that supports Webauthn and FIDO2. It’s the future of two-factor authentication on the web. At work we use the YubiKey 5C Nano, but I think the entire Yubikey 5 series supports Webauthn.

Given the prices of these VPSes, you could get two or three with different providers and have a warm standby in case of any issues.

RackNerd is legit though - a real company with a physical office. I’ve had some VPSes with them in the past, and only got rid of them because I wanted to consolidate a few things.

A lot of people only have debit cards in Australia, and consumer protection is a lot stronger than the USA. Most credit cards in Australia have an annual fee, and the only rewards are usually frequent flyer points, so they’re nowhere near as common as in the USA.

I’m Aussie but I’ve been living in the USA for 10 years. American credit cards are something else. So many good cards with no annual fee, great perks (like extended warranty), and great rewards (like cash back, or points that are worth way more than in Australia).
