Say whatever you like but "a privacy-preserving telemetry" sounds to me like an oxymoron.
Im using bitwarden for mobile devices filled with crucial credentials and my main vault is a full offline database in keepassxc
I'm curious what your config looks like for this. How do you keep your db offline but accessible? Is it a restricted docker container? How do you access it when you're not at home or on multiple machines (like a laptop)?
Offline as its not being synchronized into the cloud anywhere; if I need it elsewhere I just copy it manually from main OS. I could use some solution but its not worth efforts to my needs. What I keep in bitwarden is enough for my mobile needs
Not OP but I have my KeePass file on a locally hosted Nextcloud instance. Synced to multiple computers and phone but the Nextcloud server is only accessible at home LAN.
Passwords are the kind of data that don't belong in the cloud, in my opinion. Those companies are too juicy targets.
I host vaultwarden, but it's behind a tailscale network. Best of both worlds.
That's the neat part... he doesn't.
Why don't you use a sync tool to automatically sync your KeePass database when you're home and just get rid of Bitwarden?
Edit: Or just use Syncthing to always keep your database on all devices in sync. You wouldn't even need to open ports.
