I’m wondering how many are self hosting and if there’s any benefits to doing so?

    I’m happy paying bitwarden the $10 a year or whatever it is.
    It’s reasonably priced, they seem to have their shit together, they have a good product, and I don’t have to worry about breaking anything.

    I selfhost it and like it. Probably one of the easier things to self host (at least was the first or second thing i did).

    I just want everything running on the comp in the basement cause i think it is neat, mostly.

    It is working well for me. I did have an issue with 2FA where the clock on the server somehow got off over daylight savings switch and then my phone authenticator wasnt working. That wasnt really bitwarden/vaultwarden related, just general selfhosting fun.

    I’m selfhosting vaultwarden and access it through wireguard. This is is probably the safest way to host passwords, since the encrypted vault isn’t on someone else’s server while the risk of an attacker exploiting vulnerabilities is extremely slim. This works well for all my services, e.g. Jellyfin and radicale (cal-/carddav).

    I’ve paid 10€ for a year of Bitwarden before and it’s also a good deal.

    I’m hosting Vaultwarden, the obvious benefit is that you get all the Bitwarden features that Bitwarden has you paying extra. It’s also more lightweight and easier to setup than Bitwarden itself (although I’ve not tried it myself, so don’t take my word for it). Vaultwarden was very easy to get up and running, upgrades are easy as well, documentation is good and backups are easy to create and restore from. I’m very happy.

    Not yet fully self hosted, but I’m in the process of migrating the pw storage at my workplace over to vaultwarden.

    personally, I use bitwarden, but for a company, we want to have the system selfhosted.

    Apart from “having more control” over where your pw are stored, there isn’t really a benefit to use VW
