You can also selfhost bitwarden/vaultwarden for even better privacy.
Correct, IMHO go the vaultwarden route. Bitwarden self hosting seems finicky with multiple containers running together in a stack. Vaultwarden accomplishes this with a single container and a single bind mount.
As far as I can tell there is no difference between the two from a user point of view.
Agreed.
I do this too. On a vm hosted somewhere with an encrypted filesystem and only accessible from my home IP. If I need a password while on the way I use my VPN.
Your able to connect the official app to your local IP? Always get some certification errors.
Yeahhh. As your error implies, you need a valid certificate !
You can host your own CA and create your own rootCA, IntermediateCA and sign your certificate with those !
Add your IntermediateCA into the trust store of all your devices and use a reverse proxy of your choice to serve your services with your own domain (vaultwarden.home.lab).
Gotta use a domain name with a valid SSL cert on it.
You can even access your passwords if your server is offline. You just can't add new entries !!
If your vault is locked on your phone for example it needs to contact the server. But granted, most of the time it is not needed.
I'm actually hosting it public-facing, because in theory, gaining access to the VM and the vault shoult be unproblematic - since the vault is only decrypted client-side
Agreed, but I like the extra layer.
