I’ve put Vaultwarden online and have configured it to backup over the network through duplicity. Updates are automatic (I have a cronjob that just does docker pull/stop/rm/run without checking the error codes). No downtime so far!
It’s been a while since I’ve used the official Bitwarden server, but Vaultwarden is pretty much foolproof. It’s one of the easiest programs to self-host that I’ve come across.

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
It’s a testament to Vaultwarden’s update policies, not to my amazing server practices!
You’re right that this is a terrible idea and it will inevitably bite me in the ass, but keeping up to date with a dozen of self hosted services is a faff and I’ll accept the 15 minutes of docker fuckery to revert the updates if it means I don’t need to remind myself to perform server maintenance.
The official Bitwarden server: 2-4GB of RAM, mostly because of the SQL server and all of the separate containers. Probably at least two CPU cores to prevent one process from lagging everything out. 12-24GB of storage.
For Vaultwarden, the Rust reimplementation of the backend server: I don’t know, about 128MB of RAM? It’s using about 40MB of RAM on my server. It’s using about a minute of CPU time per hour for my install. Storage requirements are “the size of the docker container plus some database files”.
Both: a TLS certificate (Let’s Encrypt) and as much free space as you plan on sending through their encrypted file sharing service. Also the storage and configuration for your automated backups, of course.
Vaultwarden isn’t audited and it takes longer to get all of the features because it’s a hobby project and not an enterprise company. Bitwarden is set up to easily scale to whole company/whole enterprise usage. Vaultwarden is set up for “you and your family” scale which probably works fine for larger scales but I don’t think it’s set up for it out of the box.
How do you make the sever available via the Internet? Do you host it on a cloud provider (e.g. AWS EC2)? or do you self host on your own bare metal machine?
You can just open a port in the firewall/port forward a local server if your home ISP isn’t shit. If it is shit, you can run it in the cloud somewhere. I wouldn’t go with Amazon, they’re terribly expensive for hobby projects (who needs multi zone failover for a personal hobby project), any $5 VPS provider will do. Just make sure to install updates automatically so you don’t need to keep a close eye on maintenance and you should be golden.
Alternatively, if you don’t want to expose your server to the internet, you can set up a VPN server on your cloud server and only expose the password manager to your VPN. Wireguard is relatively simple to set up for this purpose, but tailscale (and whatever the self-hosted tailscale server is called) makes things even easier.
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 would trust the absolute bottom of the barrel services with unimportant things like blogs, but I don’t want my password manager to be hosted there. It just feels too sketchy to me.
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.
They are across from multiple subs. From obscure 3D printers to steps to bring pets to Taiwan, there has been over 12 years’ worth of my time spent there.
Well, you could ask the lemmy repost bot to make reposts of all of the subs you’ve posted here, on Lemmy, but ot only takes posts from today and maybe a few days back, reposts them here, and than just carries on reposting from that point on. It doesn’t actually repost retroactively.
Though you could probably speak to the dev that actually runs that instance, maybe he can make a bot mod that does the same, but with users and does it retroactively. It’s worth a shot IMO 🤷.
I know it is not your question but… Everyone says pockets for women’s fashion but that is not the most important. At least here in the US the most important is having proper sizes on clothes.
For the most part men’s clothes let you pick things right. You know your waist and inseam for pants, and often have a proper size for shirts and collars.
Women’s fashion often has no size other than the ambiguous s/m/l/xl indicator and teen/woman’s/plus often use the same tag to indicate wildly different sizes. On top of that, when close use a measurement it is not grounded in reality, so a 14 at one shop may be a 16 at another, and neither are a direct measure of your waist. Finally women’s pants only come in 3 lengths (petite, tall, or not specified) and it is difficult to find most combinations.
The best thing we could do for fashion in any sex is to standardize sizes globally and make them all based on a tape measure measurement. That way you could buy 32x30 pants online knowing they will fit, no matter the brand.
Honestly, yeah, size standardization in some form would help so, so much. It’s such a pain trying to figure out whether something will fit, even when it says it’s the same size as another garment, like you say, 14 at one shop or even in one brand and 16 in another.
The only issue is that different cuts and styles can affect those objectively correct measurements. When you ask a guy what size jeans they wear, they most often will also remark what brand they prefer. It's not really that they actually prefer it, but mostly that fits better than maybe another brand in the same size.
As a man I can assure you we have the same problem. I have garments with a 30" waist that fit the same as a 34" waist. And I have pants with a 29" inseam that go past my feet and 32" inseam that don't.
Exactly. Even sizes that represent an actual physical measurement after pretty much made up numbers.
I have 4 or 5 Levi’s 501s. All the exact same size, but the fit differs wildly. Two of them I bought at the same time, just in different colors and they’re like two different models.
Sweaters are just as bad. I’m a taller guy (1,90m), and it’s almost impossible to find a sweater (or any other upper body garment for that matter) that has proper torso length, sleeve length and width at all relevant places. If I find a sweater that’s long enough in all dimensions and doesn’t feel like a straight jacket around the chest, it’s so wide around the stomach, that I could easily hide a watermelon.
It’s like the fashion industry assumes, that humans can’t be tall and not fat.
Both genders have the same problem. Women get underwear in exact sizing, along with tops that usually are exact. Men get exact sizing in pants and button up shirts. Women do have the same problem with sizing of pants and dresses, but women also have a vastly larger selection. Go look at how many stores sell only to women. Then go look at the stores that sell to both but then have a women’s section that is 5-10x the size of the men’s section.
“Never hesitate to state the obvious”, for socially awkward teenager-me this was a game changer how to participate in conversation. I still live by it and it’s really useful in meetings, as it also brings real value to the conversation, as whatever is obvious to you isn’t necessarily obvious to others. And even if everyone knew, it may still spark a discussion.
