I mean that I don't have the necessary knowledge to make sure no one can get into my network and server, and having my entire life thus possibly vulnerable is too risky. Heck, I can't even get Caddy to work properly.
Right there with you! Selfhosting Vaultwarden would be cool, but I barely know what I’m doing. I trust Bitwarden’s security knowledge and abilities way more than my own.
My view on this is that I also do not trust a company to properly secure something so if it's going to be a hack job I might as well attempt it myself!
Understandable! However I'd rather have the provider tell me that they were hacked and my data compromised than me being hacked and never finding out because I have no clue to look 😆
Unless you go out of your way to make it available to the internet, it will only be available on your local network, and you're a much smaller target than the cloud provider.
