Like the title says, I'm new to self hosting world. πŸ˜€ while I was researching, I found out that many people dissuaded me to self host email server. Just too complicated and hard to manage. What other services that you think we should just go use the currently available providers in the market and why? πŸ™‚thank you

Password manager. While some may cache on your client devices, by and large if your server goes down, no passwords.

Not necesarily. If you self host SyncThing and use it to synchronise your password database across devices (for example KeePassXC's .kdbx file) only the synchronisation goes down with your server.

Same with Bit/vaultwarden, all clients grab a copy of the vault from the server when they sync so if the server is offline all clients still "just work".

Vaultwarden with SyncThing is a robust combo from what I hear. Everything is local.

Vaultwarden is perfect for that then, it does cache locally.
