How many more times can we shout it. KeePass with Syncthing.
- twobitshifter 4y agoI use strongbox pro, which is an iOS keepass app, and keep it on iCloud Drive. It’s a simple no fuss solution.
- chinathrow 4y agoAs a long time KeePass user, I throw in KeePassXC. Much more polished.
- sureglymop 4y agoFor sure! I meant KeePass the database format :). I use KeePassXC also.
- irrational 4y agoWhat is Syncthing? A thing that syncs?
- vageli 4y agoYes, it's a service to keep files on your devices in sync with one another. https://syncthing.net/ https://syncthing.net/
- npteljes 4y agoPeer to peer dropbox, kind of.
- usefulcat 4y agoA self-hosted replacement for Dropbox.
- marcosdumay 4y agoHum... No, it's not a replacement for Dropbox. It solves issues Dropbox doesn't (like dealing with segregated networks), and doesn't solve issue that Dropbox does (like sending files to people).
- avhception 4y agoHave a look at unison, it's what I use instead of Syncthing and I couldn't be more happy. https://github.com/bcpierce00/unison https://github.com/bcpierce00/unison edit: Also, KeepassXC!
- fIREpOK 4y agoThe only problem I have with Syncthing is how it deals with conflicting updates... The interface make it difficult to see which file is conflicting. Is it better with Unison? +1 for keepassXC
- derbOac 4y agoWhy Unison over Syncthing? Just curious because I've been happy with Syncthing and haven't heard of Unison.
- avhception 4y agoWhile I use Syncthing over on Android because there is no good Android port of Unison, and like it, here are some of the things that make me use Unison on my laptops and desktops: - The way I use Unison, I review the proposed changes before hitting go on a sync. Caught a few mishaps and accidents over time (not Unisons faults, talking about me messing up my files and stuff). Reading these reviews regularly gives me a good feeling for what is going on with my data, too. - Unison is easier to use over ssh. With Syncthing, I need to forward a port or use the ssh client's proxy to get at the webgui. - I find Unisons behavior more predictable and dependable than Syncthings. Maybe it's the Android port that's to blame here, but with Unison I start it on the CLI and it runs through to completion, done. With Syncthing, it seems to sync on it's own volition. I have configured Syncthing to run when my phone is connected to my WIFI. Sometimes it starts right away when my Android phone enters my WIFI, sometimes it takes a while, sometimes it needs a little prodding with the webgui to follow through on this or that folder. - My Unison config consists of 3 lines. I recently had to reconfigure Syncthing on my phone, took me quite some time of carefully re-mating the app with my server for all folders with a ton of potentially out-of-sync content on both sides.

- eatsyourtacos 4y agoI love KeePassXC and have used it forever. However is there any good way to use it with my phone? I do find it frustrating to have to type in passwords manually sometimes, even though it's not very often.
- yandrypozo 4y agoI use an app called KPass that reads my .kdbx file perfectly, and I use Syncthing as well.
- acidburnNSA 4y agoYes there is. Sync it with syncthing (or next cloud or seafile or...) and use a compatible client to read it on your phone like KeePassDX.
- tfvlrue 4y agoI use Keepass2Android on Android devices and Strongbox on iOS devices. They've served me well.
- sureglymop 4y agoI use KeePass2Android offline. This is also safer because the database isn't synced over the internet, only when I'm in the same network as e.g. my laptop.
- a10c 4y agoI use 1Password with a family account. Good luck getting my mother to understand the nuances of KeePass with Syncthing. Previously she wrote her passwords down in a notebook.
- sureglymop 4y agoWell, as long as you understand it, you could use it. As for her, maybe using a notebook is not even the worst idea.
