Hi y'all! Sorry for asking so much on this sub! Y'all have been so helpful!

This time, I'm thinking of transitioning from 1Password to a self-hosted option.

Of course I know about Bitwarden, and I'm looking into it now, but are there any other recommendations y'all have? Have y'all heard of and used Passbolt? It seems nice, but it looks like it only does passwords and not other categories like 1Password does.

A few things of note: I'd like it to have different categories, a la 1Password. (Logins, SSN, ID, member card #, etc) Maybe multi-user so I can have an account for my wife. Password generator of course, and I'm not sure if y'all are familiar too much with 1password, but it allows you to customize the fields in each entry. So it starts with the basics (username, password, url), but it allows you to add sections and entries too! I could add a "security" and add my 2FA code on there, my backup codes, etc.

Honestly, that last one is a biggie, so I think I might be talking myself out of moving over now, but I'm sure that AgileBits or whatever the company is called will abandon, if it hasn't already, 1Password 7 with local vaults, in favor of 1Password 8 that only uses 1password subscription accounts.

Sorry for the rant and wall of text. Thank y'all in advance.

Update on July 21, 2023

I decided to self-host Vaultwarden as it was designed to be a lightweight (on resources) version of Bitwarden. For Android, I'm using the "Keyguard" app to access my instance, and the official Bitwarden browser extension on my wife's MacBook. 1password fucked me over, and I had to manually copy every password 1 by 1, luckily I only had ~500 entries.

I'm still doing some research into the best app for android (the official Bitwarden is ugly, and Keyguard is pretty, but I'm still looking around.)

Thank each and every one of you for taking time to answer my question!

You can install Vaultwarden instead of Bitwarden. Differences between Vaultwarden and Bitwarden by reference.

Is it just me or does that "comparison" make no sense for this thread. It's mostly comparing vaultwarden to the cloud version of bitwarden, not the self hosted version. It only mentions the self hosted version in passing. It doesn't do anything to help someone choose between vaultwarden and self hosted bitwarden

The article honestly reads like it was written by an AI tool.

Strongly second vaultwarden, covets so many cases for me.

Also recommend vault warden its what I've been using for the past year since lastpass dropped the ball.

It has entries for totp, notes, and you can add more fields as needed. Ive been really happy with it

Not sure why someone would. Bitwarden provides their own self-host repos and docs and is working on a unified container instead of docker-compose scripts for their production stack.

I've been using their stack for the last 6 years and only issues I've ran into were my fault. Also tested their container and will be switching to that soon.

Don't you have to pay to use premium features on your own server with their official software? With Vaultwarden you get all premium features unlocked for free on an infinite amount of devices.

Yes that is true but $10/year for premium is not bad, I donate that much to separate projects per year
