If I were running a business and had to share passwords and control access to things for multiple users, that's probably what I'd do, but all I need is a synced password storage. Self-hosting a server's probably overkill for that.

Also, isn't the vault itself encrypted? You shouldn't have to encrypt extra to do a backup.

    I'm pretty sure it's password encrypted, so in theory yeah it should be secure if your master password is, but if someone gets access to it I think they could try to brute force your vault open.

    It's not that hard to maintain tbh, it's actually simpler than a lot of other self hosted options because it just works on every device with no weird setup with syncthing. It's made my life so much simpler and I like being able to quickly share logins with my fiance.
