Having fun building Wolf and GOW

I don’t self host and pay Bitwarden €12 per year

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

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?

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.

The point: .

You

You are missing the point; the original comment was about not having the keys to restore the (I assume) encrypted backups. With Bitwarden you can still access the vault even if the server is offline/lost. It’s not a replacement for a backup strategy.
The nice thing about Bitwarden is that all vaults are locally saved on every device where you access it. So even if your NAS, server and whole house burn in fire you still have all the keys on your phone.
I just finished Lies of P including the DLC, runs beautifully on the Steam Deck and it’s such a banger!
Probably the only thing I wouldn’t change in the project after all these years!

Unfortunately Docker containers and terminal coding is a bit over my head.

That’s absolutely understandable, getting comfortable with the terminal is definitely the first step to be able to shove that PC in a closet. 😉

Ideally, in the meantime I’ll have made all this stack even easier to run!

We support podman, you just have to enable the Podman System Service so that Wolf can use that socket to spin up and down additional containers.

I really should add a section in the quickstart guide…
