Currently im just running calibre and nextcloud docker containers over the web, with a ddns from noip and a cloudflare domain. But i also want to setup a vaultwarden container too, so now i need to really consider the security of my server. What are the main things to watch out for? Calibre and nextcloud are just using subdomains, is it okay to have a subdomain to connect to vaultwarden? Am i better off just trusting bitwarden and sticking with them?
IMO if you are asking such question - stick to Bitwarden cloud.
Passwords, at least to me, is something I don’t want to lose. I don’t trust myself I could provide a proper uptime & security, so I just use cloud version.
Yeah that was something i was worried about too, not like my server is an proper rig. Its just a shitty laptop with a slow ass HDD, and who knows how much life its got
I recently switched to cloud from vaultwarden. I was comfortable enough with the security, but when I started to actually plan disaster recovery, it was something I literally could not afford to get wrong.
So bitwarden is the one service I don’t, and have no plans to, self host.
Bitwarden’s official self hosting stack (not a single container) ships with nightly encrypted database dumps. And their backup page mentions just needing to backup the ‘bwdata’ folder which has worked great for me.
That’s great. For me, at least, getting a server restored from backup on something like aws without access to passwords was going to require more preparation than I was willing to deal with.
Definitely worth exploring if you’re prepared to handle that though.
