I've been self-hosting Bitwarden (and giving them money) for a few years now, it is really easy with Docker and a reverse proxy. What kind of challenges did you encounter with Bitwarden?
- preisschild 1y agoLast time i checked you needed a MS SQL db...
- warkdarrior 1y agoIt is all included in their Docker compose file.
- preisschild 1y agoI use Kubernetes But also what about the whole lifecycle? I can easily deploy a HA Postgres cluster that is backed up for me. I'd have to do the same thing to back up BW.
- warkdarrior 1y agoDon't know much about HA (it looks like Bitwarden does this through Helm https://bitwarden.com/help/self-host-with-helm/ https://bitwarden.com/help/self-host-with-helm/), but backup is a matter of simply copying files: https://bitwarden.com/help/backup-on-premise/ https://bitwarden.com/help/backup-on-premise/
- cheema33 1y ago> Last time i checked you needed a MS SQL db... For real? That would mean a requirement for a software license that costs about $1,000 for the cheapest option.

- seized 1y agoThere is a new Unified one that can use SQLite and other options. I have been using that one for a year or more
- fkyoureadthedoc 1y agoVaultwarden uses fewer resources and runs fine on a $5 digital ocean VPS where I had some issues with Bitwarden. I hardly have to remember that I'm running it myself.
- warkdarrior 1y agoResource usage is a fair point. My home computer is 64 cores and 1TB RAM so I don't even notice Bitwarden running.
