But I want it so badly! All i need to figure out is:
reverse proxys (I stumbled through getting one caddy instance setup so far but gosh I struggle with that also, nginx proxy manager seems like my next step)
a rock solid backup/restore setup (but first I need to figure out where the vaultwarden alpine files live, then be able to get those off of the proxmox vm)
this is more of a vent, than a request for someone to spell it all out for me. But I wouldn’t be upset if anyone had the time to point me in the right direction for me.
Would it just be easier to run a keypass XC and syncthing setup?
Just pay for BitWarden maybe? It’s cheap.
Self hosting has the advantage of keeping your encrypted vault local and under your control.
Technically, if it wasn’t for the unofficial server component, you had to pay for a subscription even if you self host
“self hosted” not “cheapest”
It is literally the product OP is struggling to host and understand. Nothing wrong with saving yourself the struggle and recover time by just buying the official product.
