Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

In the latest episode of "they will always sell you out" - they sold you out! Who would've thought.

Hoping for a good alternative client to appear, the writing is on the wall. Vaultwarden can't exist without "leeching" off of Bitwarden.

What is "collaboration" in this context?

[–] Viceversa@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

Parallel creating, reading, updating, deleting password entries by multiple users.

Sharing passwords between groups of people so everyone always has the up to date version. Not breaking the world if two people try to modify the same entry as some file syncing solutions do.

Hmm, interesting, though isn't that a fault of the organization not having an account-linking system so that each person could have their own credentials but can still access the unified content? This workaround seems... flimsy, unless I'm not picturing a legit scenario in which no other method is as good, or something.

It's the fault of my family organization or every company we use that my parent's bank, Google, phone, laptop, etc don't allow more than one set of credentials to access the same thing?
It's not just that we need to be able to share credentials the once a blue moon I need to help them by logging into their account?

You know why most cloud based services charge money? For stuff like this, because it’s not free to implement and maintain.

Easy and fault-proof password sharing and syncing needs software and hardware to do. You either set it up and maintain it yourself, or pay for a product that does it - like Bitwarden.

But your argument falls apart against something like Syncthing's discovery networks combined with send-/receive-only folder types, which use no cloud yet allow the automatic, passive propagation of file updates to different users' devices... right? No cloud, no self-hosting, yet automatic syncing across multiple devices...
