It never made sense to me to put password managers in the cloud. Regards to what you intend it to do, you’re making it accessible to a wider audience than necessary. And yet, I’m using iCloud. It’s time for a change.
I’m thinking of just running a locally hosted password manager on my home server and letting my devices sync with it somehow when I’m at home. I have a VPN into my home network when I’m away that automatically triggers when I leave the house, so even that’s not that big an issue, but I’m really not familiar with what’s gonna cleanly integrate with all my stuff and be easy to use. All I know is I wanna kill the cloud functionality of my setup.
I already have a jellyfish server so I figured I would just throw this onto that. Any suggestions?
I do this. Plus VPN to have access to passwords when away from home network
What’s the issue of exposing this one to the internet? Even if the database gets leaked somehow, your passwords are still protected by a hopefully strong master password + strong encryption
I guess it’s due to unnecessary risk and lazyness of not wanting to get a domain for TLS. Mostly the unnecessary risk, like why expose it when I don’t have to.
Because it lets you sync your passwords anytime, without having to connect to the VPN first, which saves time. And the risk of data leak is not really there since the passwords are encrypted by a strong master password anyways. With Vaultwarden, you can host your database even publicly and share it on Lemmy and nothing would happen, provided you use a strong master password, which you definitely should.
