Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

You are correct that I will be using it only for internal authentication. I want to get away from my bad habit of reusing passwords on internal services to reduce pwnage if mr robot gets access ;)
Any experience on how authelia interacts with vaultwarden? They seem sympatico but should I install them in tandem? Would that make anything easier?
No, but Vaultwarden is the one thing I don't even try to connect to authentik so a breach of the auth password won't give away everything else
May I ask why you'd want to selfhost bitwarden if the free hosted version is almost as good aside from the few unimportant paid perks?
I don't?
But you mention having vaultwarden and not connecting it to authentik. So you basically have bitwarden selfhosted.
Yes, but I don't plan to host bitwarden. I was referring to op's question regarding vaultwarden+auth. Sorry, I think I can't follow you
Implying you have it deployed in active use, no?
Yes, I think I'm getting your original question now. I didn't even look into their hosting offers because I'm actively looking for things I can self host. It's the same reason I self host many things, I don't care if someone else offers it for free. I'm 100% owning it, I don't have to rely on someone else's server, and I enjoy the process of setting up my own infrastructure, figure out ways to make it reliable etc. It's also a learning experience for me.
Fair point.
Personally I wouldn't bother with critical stuff. If vaultwarden was down I'd have too much other issues I wouldnt want to deal with right now.
I thought about and tested that scenario, but all Bitwarden apps I'm using (Firefox Plugin and Android) keep a cache so Vaultwarden being down even for a few days is not that much of a problem as long as you don't need to change/edit passwords.
I'm not the guy you asked, but I self-host it because I like a couple of the features (like making an org for house stuff, and sharing that with certain family members), it's really awesome for OTP as well. I honestly don't know which features are the paid ones because I went straight to Vaultwarden as I knew I wanted it in house (physically) and Bitwarden didn't offer that.
You can create (i think one) org under paid accounts as well and delegate specific collections access between members.
My use case is for home-stuff I want access from work (e.g. Jellyfin)
Please implement a password manager.
Bitwarden can do almost anything on the free tier and the few perks cost 10$ per year which arent even mandatory for actual usage.
