Iβm going to move away from lastpass because the user experience is pretty fucking shit. I was going to look at 1pass as I use it a lot at work and so know it. However I have heard a lot of praise for BitWarden and VaultWarden on here and so probably going to try them out first.
My questions are to those of you who self-host, firstly: why?
And how do you mitigate the risk of your internet going down at home and blocking your access while away?
BitWardenβs paid tier is only $10 a year which Iβm happy to pay to support a decent service, but im curious about the benefits of the above. I already run syncthing on a pi so adding a password manager wouldnβt need any additional hardware.
This is what recommend as well. The various KeePasses all to pretty good jobs of merging databases, in case of sync conflicts, and you can utterly ignore whether youβre online or not. Plus, thereβs a really fantastic tool, written by a veritable genius of a developer, that lets you use a KeePass DB as a secret service on your desktop.
KeePassXC canβt be run in headless mode, and the GUI is tightly coupled to the app. You have to have all of X installed, and have a display running, to run it.

I donβt know why it links to a systemd library. Here are the runtime dependencies of rook:
linux-vdso.so.1
libresolv.so.2
libc.so.6
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
Donβt get me wrong: KeePassXC is one of my favorite programs. But donβt leave it running all the time, and it canβt be run on headless systems.
I see, thanks for explaining. So IIUC, rook is intended for headless systems?
