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.

Not to flame on anyone, and without reading the details on the specific CVE. But, to share as an advice: this reason is why I prefer keepass + syncthing for my needs. Security for a full blown web app is not trivial and has a bigger "attack surface" than a kdbx file moving p2p through my devices via syncthing.

Explain how can you use KeePass+Syncthing with 10-50 people (possibly different groups for different passwords) having different sets of access level while maintaining sane ease of use?

The passwords are encrypted in the first place so the security for them is only on the client side.

syncthing also relies on a web server for device discovery, it's just that you're probably using someone else's server instead of hosting your own.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I also think that Vaultwarden itself doesn't have access to the unencrypted password database. In that sense it's E2EE similar to KeePass, the only difference being that KeePass is a desktop app and Vaultwarden a web app.
