The only downside is that I can't currently use my privately hosted instance as passwd safe with the chrome browser extension. This only works for the hosted version. So I can't habe autofill, automatic saving of new/changed passwords and password creation and also use the same vault for the mobile app (Android). The mobile app can access the self hosted vault without any issue. I would love to fully migrate to self hosted bitwarden, but the browser extension irks me. Maybe it is possible and I am just too dumb to find the solution.

Use Vaultwarden. I use that, and it works wonderfully.

  I use Vaultwarden as the server host. Does it have a chrome add on as well?

    You can use the Bitwarden apps with Vaultwarden: https://bitwarden.com/download/ https://bitwarden.com/download/

I dont have any Chrome browser to test, but this has always been possible with the Firefox extension, so Id be surprised if it wasnt possible. There is a small cog in the top left side where you can change the URL to use when you login, in case you simply overlooked it.

  Will again take a look. I used Google to find a tutorial and that dpole of said cog, but I wasn't able to find it.

    I just made this screenshot in a chrome-based browser for you: Top left here: https://imgur.com/xCgrot0 https://imgur.com/xCgrot0 If you click on that, the "Server URL" field is where you want to put your private instance: https://imgur.com/Gua3jSb https://imgur.com/Gua3jSb

      Thanks a lot. All of you helped a lot. Must have been blind yesterday evening. It worked.

This isn't true. The browser extension (on all major browsers) allows use of self-hosted instances. I'm using it right now.

  I would love to know how that works. I was so not able to select an option to enter a different vault url. I could only enter email and password yesterday.

    It’s a slightly hidden option on the login page.

      Thanks a lot. Found it and all worked fine in the end.

    on the login screen, you have a gear icon on top left corner (at least for the chrome extension), there you can add the custom url for your hosted instance.

You can use a private instance with the chrome addon, just set your server URL in the settings like usual.
