A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

For example, something that is too complex for your comfort level, a security concern, or maybe your hardware can’t keep up with the service’s needs?

Mail, Bitwarden and Joplin. Too important stuff for my Raspberry Pi setup.

Second. I used to self-host Bitwarden. Then I realized it'd be too devistating to lose all my passwords, even with backups. So I moved to their cloud service and paid for my families accounts too.

Joplin tho, Joplin stays on the server with no backup. I should really, really make a backup this weekend.

I am hosting bitwarden myself (on a VPS) and I am not that concered about losing my passwords, because every device syncs all passwords locally regulary so that you don't need internet to access them.

So to loose all your passwords not only do you have to loose your bitwarden server and all the backups, you also have to loose access to all your bitwarden clients synchroniously.

I've never heard of joplin but it looks just like what I need

[–] aard@kyu.de 1 points 1 year ago

Because passwords are so critical I'd never give that to a third party.

Stuff like bitwarden is needlessly complicated, though - I nowadays have a vaultwarden instance for friends and family, but everything important is done via pass - which only needs a git server, which I have anyway.

I really want to use Bitwarden and I pay for the premium as well, but it's starting to bother me that a lot of basic stuff is missing despite years of user requests.

  • An Auto-fill UI for the web interface
  • Credit card auto-fill
  • A way to refresh from the auto-fill menu on the Android UI

I just tried Proton Pass (I have unlimited anyway) and it's not better, but at least they seem to be working on these.

all the features you listed are available though?

Okay, credit card autofill is there at least on the browser, my bad. But the other two, no. What I mean by auto-fill UI is an overlay like we see in LastPass, Proton, etc.

If you add an item on your desktop, make sure it's synced and try to use the Android app to auto-fill it, it won't be there yet. And if you use the basic auto-fill view ("Items for x"), there's no way to refresh. The main app (not the "Items for" view) does have a refresh option though, so i end up closing everything, going back and refreshing from there.

Also, I like the way Aliases work in Proton. I'm still using both and really like both, and for now, both have its pros and cons.
