It was one of the easiest to setup and it works flawlessly. I’m a bit paranoid about losing my data even with the backups… Any recommendation?

    I’ve been using it for a few months now and love it. I have it on 2 VMs. 1 at home and 1 on my dedicated server in the cloud.

    I have a horribly written script that stops the vaultwarden container on the home VM, it copies the db.sqlite3 files to the VM in the cloud using SCP, copies everything inside the attachments folder using SCP and then starts the container again. I then have the same type of script on the cloud VM that stops the container, grabs the db and attachments from the temp folder and moves them to the correct directories and starts the container.

    I only use the instance on the VM at home, the cloud VM is only used if something has happened to the VM at home. I do the same with my netbox instance.

    I also don’t expose anything to the internet. Everything is behind WireGuard. I have my phone setup with Tasker to automatically connect the tunnel when my phone disconnects from my home WiFi SSID.

    The nice thing about syncing services like Vaultwarden is that all your synced devices kind of act like backups. You should still keep proper backups too, of course, but this makes me sleep a bit better at night at least.

      Yeah, this too… like… I have Bitwarden synced in different computers/phones, so at least most of the passwords will still be somewhere.

    I tried Vault warden, but I didn’t find it better than KeePass which I have syncing over nextcloud to storage that is mounted over NFS for my desktop and laptop. There are plenty of clients so you can use windows, linux, android etc.

      I ran Keepass synced through my Nextcloud for a long time as well, but I switched to Vaultwarden after loosing Passwords due to sync issues. Almost got locked out of an important account. Luckily I noticed it early enough to recover it through my Nextcloud’s versioning. But since then I’m too paranoid to rely on a password manager without a reliable syncing mechanism built-in if I’m gonna use it daily on a range of different devices.

    I like to connect an external drive and make backups on it. If your Vaultwarden die, unless your devices are de-authorised (or try to update the URL), you can access the vault and export the data.

      FIY even when deauthorized all passwords previously synced are still available but prevents syncing without fully logging in.

    how are you doing your backups now? are you using the 3-2-1 backup strategy?

      Not really, no. I have an HDD and an SSD both in a same machine. Data in SSD gets copied to HDD everyday. I don’t have any remote backup yet. How do you do your remote backup?

    I use vaultwarden as my bitwarden backup. I pay for bitwarden premium because it’s too critical of a service for me to not pay for access/support the service, or to expect my self hosted option will be sufficiently reliable enough.

    That said, as a backup option, I run the vaultwarden addon in home assistant and just periodically do a manual export from bitwarden and import to vaultwarden. This is usually good enough for me, but glad to see this thread with some other options. Will be exploring some of these too!

      Oooh, I like this idea… I’ve thought about running vaultwarden but like you I pay for bitwarden premium because I think it’s critical for me and I like the service and want to see them continue. Using it as a backup, then I can still support them and run my own backup.
