This self-host option is a more lightweight and flexible deployment alternative, ideal for homelab enthusiasts and community members who want to get started quickly with self-hosting Bitwarden. With the release of general availability, Bitwarden lite users can benefit from enhanced performance and reliability.
Seems to be an official alternative to Vaultwarden
What do you mean? If my house burns down the chance all my devices went up in flames is high. This is one of the reasons I’m not self hosting Bitwarden.
If you don’t do off-site backups there’s no recovery from your house burning down. Which self hosted alternative will survive without backups from all your devices burning? You are completely missing the point.
Exactly my point and exactly the opposite of what you said earlier.
Let explain the point for you: the way Bitwarden works is that you have your full vault saved offline on every device where you’ve logged in. It’s not just showing you what’s currently on the server, it all works even if the server goes offline.
Now, obviously you still need backups, but that’s valid for any kind of storage on the planet. If all the places where you’ve stored your data burns, there’s no recovery. Unless you have a magical solution, I don’t see how Bitwarden is “worse” than any other alternative. Would you like to explain what’s your current strategy?
