Bitwarden lite self-host deployment, formerly unified, is now generally available! 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

Unless your phone also burns down together with the house, which is not unlikely

    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.

    If you don’t do off-site backups there’s no recovery from your house burning down.

    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?

    It's not worse than any other self hosted system, the fact your vault is on every device might be useful if you don't have a connection, but IMO it doesn't really add any value in terms of backup.

    I'm glad the option exists, but I don't self host and pay Bitwarden €12 per year. For that price I can't set up a more reliable system than they can even if I would consider my time free

    So your backup strategy is praying that Bitwarden never loses your data? That's your superior solution? LOOOOOOL

    I'm realistic and know I won't do it any better than Bitwarden. I could make regular backups of my vault and store them on different locations. That won't hurt, but I also have a life.

    If you trust them so less, do you trust them to write software which won't silently your data? Do you have several offsite backups at different locations? Do you test your backups?
